WE ARE HAMLET

We Are Hamlet  is a powerful, new theatrical English-language based but multi-lingual reimagining of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet created by an international company of artists, theatre makers collaborating together to enlighten, inspire and entertain audiences across Europe. Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, is the single play that encompasses the central questions of existence that applies to all humans across social, political, economic, educational, environmental, religious and racial boundaries. The play examines the conflict between private versus public duty and the individual’s obligation to the self and the State: Who Am I? Why Do I Exist? What Must I Do? Due to the differences in conditions and circumstances of life, answers will surely vary – or do we have more in common than we knew? During the course of the performance the role of Hamlet is played by all of the actors from every partner theatre. This highlights how the role of Hamlet and the questions the play presents apply to all of us today.

The production was supported by CREATIVE EUROPE.
