For Dzieci's chamber version of Macbeth,
the ensemble has learned all of the lines, 
of every part, through a process of oral transmission. 
In our rehearsals, and in production, we do not know 
who will be playing any given role at any given time.

As presented by a traveling family of Gypsies, 
the hour-long performance creates 
the impression of a ritual or ceremony.

A very dark ceremony.

Employing haunting folk songs and chants 
from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, 
Theatre Group Dzieci explores (and explodes), 
the very essence of theatre and storytelling 
in their one-act rendition of Shakespeare’s classic.
