The performance focuses exclusively in the main characters of the story who surrendered to the ambitious vision of power, they decide to kill the king in order to take his place. Through obsessive wavering and violent battles, Macbeth and Lady take the fatal act which will elevate them to the highest achievement and at the same time banish them to the desert that lurking Furies are preying. Like twin Evil incarnations they fall onto a desperate seek of meaning, they follow the blooded thread that leads the satisfaction of the deepest desire to the abortion of completition itself, to madness, to loneliness and eventually to death.
 
Behind of Macbeth’s legend we trace reports to medieval chronographies, historic events and experiences from Shakespeare’s life, fallout from the Old Testament such as the cardinal sin and Ten Commandments as well as aspects of morality, faith and allegiance. A “cursed” play according to the theatrical tradition, despite its dark aura continues to rise. Projecting the most savage and morbid face of human feelings and behaviors – arrogance, lust for power, envy, fear, guilt – introduce us to a glowing word of an insane self-destructive fury for power – the other face of despair.
