Do you have a dream? What can you do to make your dream come true? And then, do you think you will be happy? Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires. The King and the Queen inhabit a small world, crystal chandeliers have already fallen to the ground. The characters of this tragedy are brazenly exaggerated, they have the task of speaking to consciences. They live unbridled ambition for us, their thirst for power will reveal them for what they are: poor players, that strut and fret their hour upon the stage, and then are heard no more: protagonists of a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth interpret the darkest places of the mind, dancing between uncertainty and omnipotence, between fear and desire. They are grotesque, symbol of the poverty of the human soul, which craves for a crown. Souls lost along the path of ambition, who are born, grow and die. Stars that explode and become a black hole.
