Abstract
During 2004 and 2005, Friches Théâtre Urbain, a Paris-based professional théâtre de rue, performed a multilingual adaptation of Macbeth at several European street theatre festivals. This vivid promenade performance pushed the limits in terms of scale and intensity in its use of stilts, giant flags, animal masks, abundant fireworks, and loud music and challenged the spectator physically, emotionally, and intellectually as it took possession of the real time-space of the streets. This essay explores how the audience's physical discomfort contributes to the blurring of boundaries between art and life, thereby pushing the aesthetic world of the play into the everyday world of the street and potentially influencing the efficacy of the performance.
