The accursed spirit of Lady Macbeth invites the audience to experience her nightmare of stifled ambition, unfulfilled desire, and ultimate loss. Telling the story solely through her perspective, this production uses Japanese Butoh dance, movement and various texts to put you inside the mind and body of one of Shakespeare’s most famous villains.

This is a part of WOMEN VOICES Project. Telling a story from a perspective of the well-known women characters in Theater.

The second solo performance production from a multi-award winning physical theatre group, Ren Gyo Soh. The first work, Butoh Medea has won 6 awards, received 3 nominations and 1 special prize since 2014. It has been touring nationally internationally. Hide Your Fires premiered in 2017 at United Solo NYC and has also received 4 awards: Best Physical Theatre, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Sound Design. This year, we renamed the show as Hide Your Fires: Butoh Lady Macbeth!
