La Fábrica de Microbios: Othello
27 July @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm AEST

Following the resounding success of Blood Wedding, La Fábrica de Microobios and Gente Perdida proudly return with a bold, visceral reinterpretation of one of Shakespeare’s most explosive tragedies: Othello. This striking new production, directed by Diana Paola Alvarado with assistant direction by Patricio Ibarra, invites audiences to experience Othello as they’ve never seen it before—through an all-female cast and a dynamic, movement-based performance style that redefines classical storytelling.
In this innovative staging, female-presenting actors take centre stage to embody the power, vulnerability, and complexity of Shakespeare’s characters—roles that have historically excluded them. Othello becomes not only a tale of jealousy and betrayal but a bold artistic act of reclamation. This production reimagines the classical canon through a feminist lens, offering a space where women’s voices and bodies are given full agency to command the narrative.
