Macbeth
[Theatre]
pandemonium

Directed by Margaret-Mary Hollins
Produced by Pandemonium Theatre
Silo Theatre, July 2003
Sound design & Original Music Marc Chesterman
Other music by Astor Piazolla

Margaret-Mary used the music of Astor Piazzolla in her "Shakespeare's Shorts" 20 minute short version of Macbeth. We continued with this theme, using Piazzolla to punctuate dance sequences and contrast the weight of the story with brisk and uplifting sound. This is in turn was contrasted by sampled cello music underscoreing Macbeth's murder and madness. Environmental sounds exposed the world of Dunsinane.
