Official presentation of Macbeth Machine
«tre attori e un musicista smontano la macchina della guerra e della bramosia umana»
Text from the official Cultura Roma Capitale page (service translation: “three actors and a musician take apart the machine of war and human greed”), source
On stage are Chiara Casarico, Emanuela Bolco and Luciano Pastori, authors and performers, together with the musician Leonardo Viciani, who plays live. «Macbeth Machine» is a production of IL NAUFRAGARMEDOLCE ETS.
The register is that of a physical and visionary show. Clown, the grotesque and improvisation are used to show both the ridiculous and the horrible side of the thirst for domination. The declared aim is to use the comic to bring out the tragic and to oppose the violence of power.
This is the morning performance of «Macbeth Machine» and one of the stops of «Prove Aperte di Civiltà». The other known dates are November 30 at the Centro Sociale Anziani Casal Tidei and December 11 to 13 at the Casa del Municipio IV Ipazia di Alessandria.
The project has the support of the Ministry of Culture, Direzione Generale Spettacolo, and is a winner of the public call «Lo spettacolo dal vivo fuori dal Centro 2026» of Roma Capitale, Culture Department.
