“I have given suck, and know how tender ’tis to love the babe that milks me.”
Two lines of Shakespeare reveal the grief buried in Lady Macbeth’s past. Isolated from both the male world of power and the female sphere of motherhood, she spirals toward violence. Heartbeat weaves fragments of Shakespeare’s text and a new electronics-infused orchestration into a distinctly American adaptation of Verdi’s Macbeth that centers Lady M and recasts Verdi’s chorus of witches as a trio of virtuosic soloists. Oblivious to the witches who toil constantly at the borders of her privileged life, Lady M chases the ascent that will destroy her marriage, her sleep, and her sanity.
