Nyakhomtsha! (URobin Roemer Photography) Akukho nto iyakhwaza AmaMaya aya kungqinwa engalunganga kulo nyaka! kufana nokubukela umfana obaleka eluphahleni emva kokuzixhoma kulungelelwaniso oluvulekileyo kakhulu IMacbeth , Kodwa kubalandeli bemveliso yokusebenzisana Ungalali Kwakungekho ndlela ibhetele yokukhala ngo-2012. Emva kokufumana isimemo kuThane ngokwakhe ecela ukuya kwethu kwitheko elikhethekileyo legolide nesilivere eMcKittrick Hotel – apho Ungalali uhlala kwindawo yokuhlala ukusukela ngo-Matshi kunye neenkampani ezisebenza kunye kunye ne-PunchDrunk kunye ne-Emursive-sifike sazi ukuba silindele ntoni.
Ngaba singavunyelwa ukuba sisuse eyethu Amehlo avalwe kakhulu Imaski yohlobo lwesi-Renaissance-style kunye nokuthetha emva kwaphakathi kobusuku, okanye, sihamba nomgaqo wendabuko womboniso, ngaba singanyanzelwa ukuba sibe nokuthula okungaziwayo xa ukubala kufikelela kwi-zero?
Asifanelanga ukuba nexhala: I-Emursive kunye ne-Punchdrunk ayenzanga nto ngaphandle kokuphanga izinto ebezilindelwe, kwaye xa abaphulaphuli bethotyelwe kwigumbi lebhola ngentsimbi ye-11 ngokuhlwa, yayingengomzimba kaMacbeth owayo phantsi: ngequbuliso, ukuhla komdonga omnye kwehla, ityhila ibha evulekileyo egcwele ngokupheleleyo. Aqhelekanga, Zoolander -I-DJ yavela kwesinye sezihlalo zebhokisi, ipayipi kwi-DJ-remixes yomculo we-dancehall… 1920's dancehall, oko kukuthi. (Nabani na okhangela i-dubstep version ye-ragtime classics kufuneka ajonge ekuqeshweni kwale ndoda kwisiganeko sabo esilandelayo; wayemangalisa.) Kwakuyinto entle emnandi eyadlalwa kumanqanaba amathathu ehotele: ngaphandle kwebala lebhola, imivalo yayivulekile kwifeksi Igumbi lomdlalo we -lobby kunye ne-cabaret esebenza njengomnyango womboniso. Ubuqhetseba obucocekileyo, ukungahlawuli i-8 yeedola kwisiselo (njengesiqhelo iscotch kunye nesoda kwi-bar-cash kuphela kwi-caberet iya kukubiza).
Kwaye mhlawumbi le yayiyinto nje esiyiphosileyo kutyelelo lwethu lokuqala eMcKittrick, kodwa senzile Ungalali uhlala unegumbi elinzima leelekese, okanye ngaba yayikukukhaba okuncinci ngokukhethekileyo kwiindwendwe ezihlawule i-125 leedola itikiti lokuza kumboniso wangaphambili? (Abo bafuna ukungena nge-12: 30 banokuyenza nge-100 leedola kuphela… kuphela ngama-20 eedola ngaphezulu kwexabiso lokwamkelwa, kodwa ngaphandle kweendleko zokuba uthule kangangeeyure ezintathu.) Amadoda kwinkampani yethu abenexesha elimnandi lokufaka iipokotho zabo zizele iilekese ezilukhuni ze-licorice, ngelixa amanenekazi-engenayo imingxunya yokunxiba ukuze aqokelele izinto ngaphakathi-kuye kwanela ukondla inqwaba yeeminti ezindleleni zabo nokuzigcinela ixesha elizayo; njenge chipmunks ezilindele ukubanda okungaphambili.
Ezinzulwini zobusuku kwabalwa ngamalungu apholileyo enxibe amanani ahlukeneyo, kwaye xa iwotshi esebenzayo efunda uNyaka oMtsha onoNwabisa ifikelele kumjikelo wayo wokugqibela, abadanisi bepikoko abatyibilikayo kwimibala ebengezelayo kunye neleards ezinemibala yenyama batsibela kwinto eyayiyitafile yesidlo kwaye baqhubeka uku-can. Siye sayigqibezela indlela yethu yokungena kwigumbi lokuhlala i-VIP, apho sabelana nge-whisky kunye nomkhwe womnye wabavelisi, owathi, ngokufana nenye inkosi elusizi kaShakespearean, wayebonisa ngothando iintombi zakhe ezintathu kubahlobo nakubudlelwane obusondeleyo.
Phambi kokuba intsimbi ibethe ishumi elinambini, sive umdlali weqonga owayedlalile izihlobo zethu ezibandakanya iMacbeth ngokulahla i-leer yakhe ekrukruthayo ngenxa yokuma okungakumbi, ngelixa abarhwebi bagcina isiNgesi sabo ngokuhlwa ngokuhlwa. (Ngoku siyazi ukuba kutheni kungabikho namnye wabalinganiswa kwintetho yokubonisa… oko kungonakalisa ngokupheleleyo umphumo!)
Njengokuba sasinqwenelela uEva woNyaka oMtsha ochumileyo ngumfazi osemncinci osela iziselo ngentambo yaseScotland, sazama ukuqonda ukuba indlela awayegxininisa ngayo yayiyinyani na, okanye, njengezinye izinto ezininzi Ungalali , bubuxoki obunyulu. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, savuma, yayinefuthe elinqwenelekayo lokusigcina kwindawo yemithombo yolwazi ubusuku bonke… uShakespeare ngendlela yaseHitchcock; umbono ogqibeleleyo owoyikekayo wokupheliswa kwemihla yokuphela kweentsuku.
