Hamlet
Operating as a pop-cultural and meta-theatrical collage, this production splits the figure of Hamlet across three distinct actors of different generations. The narrative intersects Shakespeare’s text with Heiner Müller’s Hamletmachine, centering on the devaluation of language and staging a reality where words, rather than physical poison, become the primary weapon of destruction.
Director: Krzysztof Garbaczewski.
