1996: Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre presents MACBETH

Originally a bilingual work created in Japan in 1995, Macbeth: As Told by the Weird Sisters went on to become one of Zen Zen Zo's flagship productions. Remounted in Brisbane in 1998, 1999 and again in 2002 at QPAC, the show then toured internationally, headlining the Singapore Youth Festival. Featuring a chorus of 8 witches, this promenade production plunged the audience into the midst of Macbeth's increasing madness, sweeping them up (literally) into the action. This was the first of many Zen Zen Zo shows to intimately explore the actor-audience relationship using the promenade convention of allowing the viewers to move around the space. This production also went on to tour for three years through schools as Visions of Macbeth with the Queensland Arts Council.
