Lady Mac Wata by Magali Muxart
A Congolese play on Shakespeare and African Mysticism
Lion & Unicorn
Directed by David Furlong
Congolese Hip Hop and live percussion
An actress prepares to play Lady Macbeth. She can’t find her dark and criminal side, and decides to invoke “Mamie Wata”, a witch from her childhood in Afrika. Lady Mac Wata is a trip into the schizophrenia of actors, African mysticism, and the curse of the Scottish play. With percussion and Congolese hip-hop, the play encapsulates our unique cultural bridge between France, Africa, and the UK.
