Audio-visual interpretation of Shakespeare's “Mchbeth” (Why is human Predisposed to violence)

Theatre is one of the ancient and global art in the world culture. In the process of renovation It changes its forms, content, methods, expressing means, it returns to the origin, passed stages, takes some kind of elements from the past, it learns again and creates a new one. Idea isn’t changed such as to talk to people with the playing language, to make them think, inspire, feel emotionally and lead them to a dialogue.
In short, no one could define the essence, idea “Catharsis” of theatre better than Aristoteles for centuries.
One of the main goal of Georgian regional or international theatre festivals is to suggest the audience the performances which reflect the current process in the world theatre space. “Radio Macbeth” which was organized by Anne Bogart and L. West in the “City Company” and then presented on the day of opening the International Art Festival “Gift” in 2014 was very original and interesting interpretation of Shakespeare’s
“Macbeth”. On recent years, the people in Tbilisi was able to see the “Macbeth” of different concept and form: Directing works of Robert Sturua, Dato Doiashvili, Maya Klechevska, Andro Enuqidze and Vano Khutsishvili. Today this play is very popular and why? At conference Anne Bogart said that reflected themes of violation, striving for power in “Macbeth” is the biggest problem of our reality. That’s why she decided
to stage this play, which was dedicated to her favorite director such as Orson Welles. Exactly “The War of the Worlds” of Orson Welles encouraged Anne Bogart to the idea of playing “Macbeth” as radio play. In 1938 Orson Welles’ “The War of the Worlds” shocked the majority of population of United States. The Americans really believed that Martians invaded Earth. The story is being played late at night in an abandoned theatre. The artists sitting at rehearsal table are undergoing agate line of Shakespeare’s fast and attractive plays. Around them the old well-known shadows of performances are coming alive and sparks of madness of ambition, violence, destiny, fate, free will, arrogance, revenge, pride, unsolvable questions, paradox, constant struggle between man and woman are burning and exploding. In this fast-moving world the artists are clutching a wholesome, sensible words of Shakespeare what come alive in the rehearsal room.
