STRONG CHARACTERS WHO MARKED HISTORY

CRITIC’S CHOICE

MACBETH, EL SUEÑO DE LAS BRUJAS. By William Shakespeare, adapted and directed by Carlos Rivas. Generals Macbeth and Banquo have saved their country from invaders. Upon their return, three witches have prophesized Macbeth his destiny as future King of Scotland. But Prince Malcolm is the legitimate heir to the throne, getting in the way of Macbeth’s omen. So Macbeth and his wife start plotting to seize the throne by killing King Duncan and blaming his sons as the culprits. Shakespeare’s English classic acquires a newfound scenic vigour through Rivas’ version, in which Gabriela Toscano plays Macbeth — a man, as she has done previously in Hamlet — and Vanesa González portrays Lady Macbeth. The play’s mise-en-scène allows the viewer to observe how lies are installed as the preferred method in this story that shows a tyrant’s ruthless and limitless power. The cast is completed by Mercedes Spangenberg, Cecilia Dellatorre, Dalia Elnecavé, Andrés Portaluppi, Jorge Lifschitz and Carlos Rivas himself as King Duncan.
