Abstract

Unlike the reading experience of The tragedy of Macbeth, which for Harold Bloom is imprisoning, since it forces us to face and empathize with the horror of our own evil imagination, attending Pompeyo Audivert’s  Habitación Macbeth means, on the contrary, a totally liberating experience that —perhaps for being partly purged, forgiven by the invocation and dramatic hierarchy of the three witches— relieves us of the possibility of being evil, since that proleptic imagination transcends itself; it is contained in just one actor and in a sober, hypnotic and brutal staging.
