Hamlet

The inhospitable Nordic landscape, the heaving sea and the pulsating restlessness of the land and souls. A foreign army roams the borders, a new king sits on the throne, and riots are raging around. Hidden secrets, ominous omens emerge, and a dead ruler appears, entrusting his son with the difficult task of avenging a cruel murder. What is the truth here? What about the fact? How does the desire for power taint a person? And how about the journey for retribution? Does it make sense to love in this world? Does it make sense to act? And does it make sense to be? Hamlet as a tragedy about the limits of madness, anxiety and fragility. The drama of the human soul as it was, is and will be. A famous play about the courage to stand up to evil and how difficult it is to take responsibility in a world that has failed.

Shakespeare's famous work returns to the stage of the National Theater after almost twenty-five years. Hamlet will always be a reflection of his current times. Thanks to all the questions it asks creators and viewers, it thus becomes a mirror of human experience, thinking and restlessness. It remains a story about the turn of the ages and the end of the old world. About social changes and disillusionment. And also about how hard it is to be ready.
