About the project:
Thrice is a new, large-scale theatre production merging voice, movement and dance, and performed by a Greek tragic chorus of nine female-identifying performers. It is built upon a collaboration between Scottish theatre-maker, Al Seed (Plinth / Oog), Paris-based director, Judith Milligan (The Shadow of Heaven), and Australian choreographer, Lina Limosani (The Spinners). The show is produced by Al Seed Productions, which is a PiPA partner (Parents and Carers in Performing Arts).
“Alas, poor country!
Almost afraid to know itself. It cannot
Be call’d our mother, but our grave…”(Macbeth / W. Shakespeare)
Thrice is not an ‘adaptation’ of Macbeth. Rather, Thrice reconfigures the text – and its images – in order to explore themes of conflict, motherhood, and our relationship with the land, which are inherent to the play. Thrice also looks to critique the representation of the ‘witches’ in Macbeth and to reimagine them in a variety of historical contexts.
“The weird sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go, about, about:
Thrice to thine, and thrice to mine,
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace, the charm’s wound up.”(Macbeth / W. Shakespeare)
Thrice will be presented to audiences in 2026. Details to follow soon…
