The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark is a captivating fusion of theater and dance featuring the collaborative work of legendary director Robert Lepage (Cirque du Solei, Stratford Festival) and renowned dancer/choreographer Guillaume Côté (National Ballet of Canada). Following the SOLD OUT world premiere in Toronto last April and SOLD OUT European debut at the International Shakespeare Festival in Romania in May, this innovating re-imagining of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy will make its U.S. debut at The Harris Theater for Music and Dance for a limited three performance engagement on Saturday, November 23 & Sunday, November 24.
This unique, wordless portrayal of Hamlet, a story of a man consumed by doubt and madness following his father’s tragic death, offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare’s intricate exploration of the human condition while seamlessly blending classical and contemporary choreography. Côté and Lepage’s creation draws the audiences into a world of deception where phantoms and humans mingle on a minimal set. Light, shadow, and transparency play integral roles, creating a metaphorical reinterpretation of the timeless tale.
