After two sold-out runs, The Other Theatre is proud to bring back Shakespeare's tale of ambition, murder and magic. In a land ravaged by war, a loyal soldier is tempted to seize power at all costs. An honorable man turned tyrant through greed and desire, Macbeth pits himself against the natural order, his rise and fall brought to life by the force and beauty of Shakespeare's text. A tale where the living and the dead intermingle, where the magical and the mortal become indistinguishable, Macbeth invites the spectator into the heart of dreams and madness. Shows will be presented in French and Haitian Creole.

Founded in 1991, The Other Theatre is dedicated to performance that explores the tension between the individual and the collective experience. The company examines how everyday acts of kindness and cruelty are reflected in the larger political and social context of our society. It aims to present work that is complex and engaging, through its adaptations, installations, theatre texts, and collectively written material, seeing a dialogue with its audience that is free of political didacticism and easy solutions. The Other Theatre presents work in English, French and bilingually. Its collective creations have tackled subjects from fractals to fascism, physics to pop culture, television to terrorism and have taken place in theatres, warehouses, galleries, a shopping mall window and a moving elevator. Latest works include the English premiere of PROVINCE by Mathieu Gosselin (Brave New Works Selection 2015 at Centaur Theatre) and the atmospheric creation LOVE U LOVECRAFT, presented at La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines.
