Le songe d'une nuit d'été

Je porte en moi soixante-dix ans de souvenirs, et j'en ai vu, pendant tout ce temps, des heures affreuses, d'étranges choses - mais cette nuit atroce réduit à rien tout ce que j'ai vécu. Macbeth se situe tout entier sur les bords de l'humanité. On y rencontre des sorcières dont le "savoir dépasse celui des mortels", des phénomènes et des actes "contre nature", et des personnages qui se demandent si "être homme", c'est chercher à se dépasser ou se tenir dans les limites de l'humanité. Comment faut-il considérer les époux Macbeth ? Comme des monstres, des humains sortis de leur nature, ou plutôt, ce que semble suggérer Shakespeare, des humains qui se débattent comme tout un chacun avec leur part d'inhumanité et leurs fantasmes ? L'ambition qui les guide vers le meurtre, l'amour qui les lie dans leur projet, la peur qui les tétanise ou les pousse à s'enfoncer dans le crime, faut-il les mettre au compte de leur humanité ou de leur inhumanité? S. B.

Macbeth

True love takes the stage at the marriage of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and Hipployta, as the fairies of the forest interfere with the lives of mortals attending the wedding feast. Although betrothed to Demetrius, Hermia is in love with Lysander and must choose between bowing to her father's wishes or a life of chastity. But Helena is in love with Demetrius, who only has eyes for Hermia. At the same time, Oberon, king of the fairies, seeks to punish his wife Titania using a love potion, as the realms of mortals and fairies collide on one magical midsummer night. Known as "The Bard of Avon, " William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare's works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare's innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.

A Midsummer Night's Dream - A Comedy

"Par ses choix, l'adaptation de Gérald Garutti et Jean Lambert-wild exprime parfaitement la manière dont la pièce de Shakespeare s'extrait d'un passé épique pour ouvrir sur un avenir dramatique. En ciblant la figure de Richard et en concentrant l'action en jeu, leur traduction cristallise l'essence et la modernité de Richard III – du rêve de perfection au déchirement tragique, de l'aventure de l'identité à la fascination pour le mal." Raymond Geuss
