Hamlet

Studio Antigone / Agaath Witteman
The essence of Hamlet lies in fratricide, a thriller with the central question "who dunit"? However, studio_antigone_ sees another aspect: the tragedy of youth. In this regard, we draw inspiration from contemporary youth as well as from Ambroise Thomas's opera Hamlet (1811-1896). Melodies and tunes from this unconventional opera will resonate in our production of Hamlet, shedding new light on Shakespeare's timeless tale.

Hamlet
A production featuring Hamlet and Ophelia not as lunatics, but as soulmates, fighting together for freedom. Hamlet seeks to escape the façade of the court, much like the virtual world we inhabit today, while Ophelia aims to break free from the societal chains imposed on women, even in contemporary times. This adaptation of Hamlet, as studio_antigone_ always does, respects and honors Shakespeare's magnificent language and original text.
-|-
Throughout her illustrious 45-year career, director Agaath Witteman, as demonstrated in last season's production of Sophocles' Antigone, has consistently shown that reverence for the playwright's language can coexist with highly contemporary theater suitable for a wide audience.
