Dead Hamlet

A freestyle version made for physical theatre and expressive dancing inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Jose Manuel Mudarra directs a group of actors that leave it all on the court by playing the eternal, philosophical, ethical and artistic values of this great classic. Vengeance, betrayal, disloyalty, power, desire, madness, honour... The main character's torment is a call to action: to live or to die? To surrender or to fight?

The biomechanical movements in the scene, along with singing and the performance, confer a great energetic power. This isn't the umpteenth interpretation of the drama. It's a ground-breaking shift in which metaphor seizes power.
