Relive Shakespeare's Hamlet with Christiane Jatahy's radical female interpretation.
Experience a radical reinterpretation of Shakespeare's masterpiece Hamlet in the hands of Christiane Jatahy. The main character no longer awakens as the symbol of male melancholy, but as a determined woman, ready to settle the score with her past. Jatahy's interpretation highlights the battle against power structures and the need to face personal actions. Surrounded by ghosts - including her mother Gertrude and fiancée Ophelia - Hamlet reveals the power of memory and revolution.
The Brazilian Christiane Jatahy made her name as a writer and theatre maker with a working method for which a classic text from the European literary canon often serves as her starting point. By placing these texts in the context of our era and of her own cultural background, she dramatically changes the dynamic of the stories that we all know. By confronting audiovisual images with live performance, Jatahy raises questions about what is ‘real’ and what is ‘staged’, about who determines how and what, and in what time frame we actually see. In 2022 Jatahy won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for her highly theatrical oeuvre. Do not miss this opportunity to experience a classic afresh, enriched with a powerful, contemporary perspective.
Technical trigger: there is smoking on stage.
