Sia Kpakiwa as Lady Macbeth
What happens when you have the original Shakespearean text, add the modern world of corporate greed, and the glamorous yet deadly dancing duo of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth? A sexy tale of how absolute power corrupts absolutely. With choreography by Zane Booker, the 400 year old play (first performed in 1610-1611) is set in the globetrotting world of investment bankers, arms dealers, and the media elite. This piece will serve as an introduction to the younger generation of Shakespeare’s legacy, and will be a great point of departure for discussion about personal choice, morality, material excess, and the concepts of power and fate.

We’ve received generous support from the Independence Foundation to workshop the concepts for the film. The outcomes for the project will be a manga, created with images from the film shoot; a website with discussion guide to analyze the story through the ages; and of course the film.
