Details
Written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness - from overwhelming grief to seething rage - and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption. Blurring the boundaries between dance and drama, this company of six dancers from Tbilisi, Georgia present a wordless, emotionally charged and amazingly accessible performance of
Hamlet, to a sound track of jazz, modern and classical music. The show has toured to great acclaim across mainland Europe.
