Alt-Rock Concert MACBETH at Thalia Hall for Shakespeare 400 Chicago
Chicago Shakespeare Theater and Thalia Hall partner to present a two-night-only concert event from Belgium as part of the yearlong Shakespeare 400 Chicago celebration-Theater Zuidpool's Macbeth. A dynamic and feverish production bordering between underground opera and rock concert, this Macbeth is a music theater deconstruction of one of Shakespeare's most recognizable works with an original score in English by two of Belgium's greatest alternative musicians, Mauro Pawlowski (of dEUS) and Tijs Delbeke(of Sir Yes Sir).
The musicians weave together various rock, folk, alternative and operatic musical styles to create a dialogue between Macbeth and his wife, telling the story of their bloody takeover of the Scottish throne. This wholly unique musical experience is presented at Pilsen's famed concert venue Thalia Hall, August 21 & 22 at 8:30 p.m. (doors open at7:30 p.m.).
