Makbetamaximus: Theater of Destruction is Khavn’s wild, irreverent reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, set not in Scotland but in a seedy carinderia in Marcos, Ilocos Norte, and his chaotic Mondomanila. Blending rap opera, punk-poetry, horror-comedy, and online theater aesthetics, the film follows Ferdz Pakbet (Deivid Encarnacion) as he seizes control of the street eatery, turning it into a brothel and drug den, while witches, chaotic montage, cellphone footage, live music, and intertitles swirl around him. Dialogue is chanted in rhyming verse over dissonant beats, punctuated by cinematic fragments and absurdist humor, collapsing traditional narrative. Khavn uses Shakespeare as a lens to explore Philippine electoral culture, systemic corruption, and the futility of leadership change: even after Pakbet’s fall, the carinderia remains open, the witches laugh, and the cycle continues. Maximalist, subversive, and formally explosive, Makbetamaximus turns tragedy into a punk meditation on power, society, and spectacle in the pandemic era.
