The No Name Collective, a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas and an emerging classics troupe, will present a novel interpretation of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” for eight performances only, on October 31 to November 5.It will be presented in a long and cavernous warehouse.

They will present Macbeth that questions the extent that gender affects the outcome of fate. Tatiana Baccari directs.The production, will have a contemporary and other-worldly feel. Its guiding principle is that in tragedy, not everything is controlled by fate. Witches make prophesies, but Macbeth makes decisions.
When Lady Macbeth implores the spirits to unsex her, her prayers are answered, conjuring a pivotal transformation. This staging explores what would happen if Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were offered new possibilities. It will feature an original score by Jeffrey Leiser with a mix of contemporary rhythmic electronic music and mystical, earthy sounds.

The No Name Collective was formed last year by Annaliese Kirby and Maggie Hood, who recruited a small group of members with a strong background in classical text training and a great love for Shakespeare. Their intention is to create performances that are accessible in every way. Its first production, then under the name of The CTC, was “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” last winter at The Alchemical Theatre (near Union Square) for four nights. It was considered a great success and a proof-of-concept for their philosophy of mounting lucid productions with an ensemble that is collective by nature. The troupe is a fiscally-sponsored project of Fractured Atlas.
