Hamletmachine
By Heiner Müller
Directed by Deneh'Cho Thompson
In Müller's fragmented eight-page text, Shakespeare's masterpiece struggles to survive amidst the mounting rubble of literary and political history. Failed ideals and human disillusionment give way in Hamletmachine to the youth clamouring in reaction against the past in order to change the present. To break free of the continual cycle of violence within history the past is questioned and deconstructed.
