Heiner Müller is an unmistakable voice of world theatre. Fierce and brilliant, brutal and profound. In Macbeth, Müller adds a contemporary vision to William Shakespeare’s work, more bloodthirsty and brutal. In these times of war, of questioning the obstacles to democracy and human values, it proves to be an instrument of reflection in contemporary Europe.
