The shortest of Shakespeare's tragedies, but among his most complex creations, "Macbeth" illustrates, using various techniques, including means of the fantastic, the disastrous consequences of immeasurable ambition and thirst for power.

The predictions of three witches, according to which General Macbeth will become "than of Cawdor" and then the king of Scotland himself, ignite in Macbeth's soul the desire to turn them into reality, overcoming all obstacles and even resorting to murder. How Macbeth will end up winning and then, in a flash, losing the throne of Scotland remains to be discovered in a modern production, which does not lose the imprint of the Shakespearean spirit in the slightest.

For the staging of the play "Macbeth", the Oradea State Theatre benefited from the collaboration with leading representatives of the Georgian theater school: director Andro Enukidze and set designer Aivengo Celidze, who gave the show a definite breath of novelty, quality and originality.

The show is characterized by an atypical directorial vision, in which the emphasis is not so much on the stage performance, but on the eclectic, postmodern style, accentuated by an exceptional soundtrack.
