Hamlet _ director’s cut

Hamlet appears on stage, completely alone, having to come to terms with his tragic life. Through pantomime and narration, he relives the moment when his world collapsed: the death of his father at his uncle's hand, and the latter's seduction of his mother by playing the role of each of them. However, he is seized with doubt and cannot accept his uncle’s actions; he therefore starts over in an attempt to make the act more plausible, then doubts, then starts again. Having to contend with the chaos of his own life, crippling self-doubt, and a quest for meaning that gives in to the absurdity of suffering, this Hamlet invariably finds himself turning into the mouthpiece of the original Shakespearian Hamlet. In Hamlet_director's cut, Hamlet leads the show; he is at once the narrator, the playwright, the director and the very essence of the production. This time, it's his vision, his version, his theatre. The project benefited from a creation residencies at the Carrefour culturel de Notre-Dame-des-Prairies and at Usine C.
