About

The production delves deeply into the essence of Shakespearean classics. Combining unique music elements with theatrical performance heightens the intensity of the original plot. Over ten actors perform without the use of elaborate sets and costumes, relying instead on imaginative and aesthetically refined narrative techniques. Their performance and staging reflect a profound interpretation of the core spirit of Shakespearean drama while also generating new perspectives. By integrating the tragic core of ancient Greek drama with Shakespeare’s humanist philosophy, they deconstruct drama through music and convey its essence through song and movement. The use of vocal performance, physical movement, and theatrical elements reflects the company’s dedication to the traditions of ancient Greek tragedy. Their pursuit of ritualistic expression, the actors' solemn and dignified performance style, and their portrayal of the chorus function—akin to that in ancient Greek plays—imbue their work with a unique, transcendent quality, representing a return to the roots of traditional theatre.
