Politics are "spectacular", these days. In MACBETH, SEMPRE we ask ourselves what and how this spectacle is. The text by Shakespeare makes the question clear: it will be asked for the politics spectacle from within the "spectacular" on stage. We have plunged into some of the fundamental aspects of the political spectacle: the music presiding in a ritual way: meetings (political speeches), parades and speeches; the "colour of the voice", from the TV and radio nasal voice –the commonest colour of the political voice- to the echo of the sports stadiums during the political speeches (the seduction of the sonorous plays a central role in the present political order); the mass-media visual and dramatic forms, from publicity to the news... The means of MACBETH, SEMPRE are those of the modern political spectacle: electronic enlargement and transformation of the voice, projections, placards and banners. |
