MARQUÉS

Marqués is a multimedia bilingual adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, set in the world of México’s narcocartels and the US/Mexican war on drugs. “Shakespeare in Narcolandia” is an installation that replays and rebroadcasts a combination of performances of violence from the play projected alongside video and images of violence of the narcocartels in México, physically situating the work within the context of the material it critiques.
