Macbeth is dead. Who will now heal the land? The world at the conclusion of Macbethis one steeped in fear; where truth and delusion blur, and tyranny thrives. This is where Thrice begins. Both a response to Shakespeare’s play and to our present moment, Thrice places nine women – three trios – in the aftermath of the story. They remain after the bloodshed, asking what it might mean to live on in the shadow of ruin. Thrice unfolds as a visual and sonic journey of movement, dance, text, and original music. Text from Macbeth – words once spoken by soldiers and tyrants – are absorbed and transformed by the figures who haunt the play’s edges: the witches. In doing so, Thrice seeks to challenge the legacy of persecution attached to the word ‘witch’, asking us to listen differently, and to imagine new forms of care and dignity.
