NINAGAWA Macbeth Tickets

NINAGAWA Macbeth is the legendary Japanese reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, created by director Yukio Ninagawa. Premiering in 1980 with the Ninagawa Company, the production is renowned for its lush, cinematic staging that blends feudal Japan imagery with Shakespearean drama. The visual concept features cherry blossoms, samurai warriors, kabuki witches, and a Buddha-alter (butsudan) on stage, complemented by a unique score that marries Buddhist chant with Western classical music.

Performed primarily in Japanese with English surtitles, NINAGAWA Macbeth has enjoyed notable runs Off-Broadway and at major venues like BAM and Lincoln Center, including a 2018 Lincoln Center Mostly Mozart Festival presentation in New York. While there are no confirmed 2025 tour dates for NINAGAWA Macbeth, the Ninagawa Memorial in 2025 will pivot to King Lear at Bunkamura, continuing the company’s legacy of transformative theatre.
