HAMLET TRÄUME

Description

Creation by Stephan Teuwissen: "Hamlet loses his father, the king. How? By poison, administered to the king by his own brother, Claudius. A fratricide? Yes. A fratricide. Uncle Claudius then marries Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. Uncle Claudius thus becomes his new father. A Danish situation! Ophelia, the skeptical fiancée, tries to take care of Hamlet. Denmark, for her: a peninsula. She tries to convince him to leave. Love. Hamlet does not understand. Neither Denmark nor love. He understands nothing. Ghosts wander. Polonius, the king's advisor, entertains the gallery, or so he believes. Ophelia demands: "Dream, rewrite me again and again!" and draws her conclusions."
In Teuwissen's dreamlike play, an actor traverses the Hamletian universe. He gropes between comedy and grand flights, discovering new soft nuances at the heart of the classical material. Teuwissen depicts his characters with finesse. He seeks tenderness and attachment amidst tension and violence in his play. With this text, director Mélanie Huber and TOBS! ensemble member Fabian Müller embark on a frantic race between inner upheaval, comedy, and poetry.
