The characters of Macbeth, having forgotten most of the play, continue to exist in its highly distorted and endlessly repeating ruins. The central character, Macbeth, who claims to be lost inside a city, attempts to map these ruined remains in order to escape them. Amongst the sleepwalkers, men carrying heads, marching soldiers and wailing women there lies a small, yet potent, love story. Its tragic conclusion seeks a definition of spiritual rebirth. 'The 60 Watt Macbeth' is a hybrid piece that lies mid-way between narrative and abstraction, live performance art and theatre. The development of themes operates in an essentially musical way; establishing a time and space that incite the spectator into the work of watching.
