HAMLET

Theater 2017
Director

About the Performance

This project is a modern reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Our main focus was on actor’s body biomechanics and theater anthropology.

Directorial Approach

In this performance, we tried to show violence not through words, but through the physical collision of objects. The battle scene between Hamlet and Laertes was one of the most challenging parts.

  • Use of Grotowski’s methods
  • Focus on silence
  • Live music

Accolades

In 2017, this play received the Best Theater Group of the Year award from the Critics’ Association.
