Surprise Performance present the next phase in their Hamletown project. This experimental mash up of theatre, performance art, rock concert, dance, film and installation follows a three week creation period with a team of Welsh and UK-based young artists. Fusing Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the events leading up to the Jonestown massacre in 1978, Hamletown explores the possibility of utopia. The project was initiated by Chad Dembski in 2007 and presented at Cameron House Videocabaret and the Harbourfront Centre, both in Toronto. Past collaborators including: Andrea Davis, Ulysses Castellanos, Michael Challenor, Sherri Hay, Peter O’Neill, Evan Webber, Michael Wheeler and Eve Wylden. Cardiff collaborators include Brent Morgan, Michael Aubin, Aleks Wojtulewicz, Catherine Capelin, John Norton, Gordon Griffen, Bethany Seddon, Helena Harrison and Shekira Johnson.
