Hamlet, L’Ange du Bizarre

Description

William Shakespeare’s Hamlet begins with a question asked by a soldier in the middle of the night: “Who’s there?” Instead of an answer, Miguel Moreira and the Útero company decided to ask further questions. Is Hamlet a conscious actor or a passive viewer of his own tragedy? Is he a character tied to the cold logic of power and revenge or somebody free to choose his own fate? Created during the 25th anniversary of the Útero company, Hamlet, L’Ange du Bizarre is a hybrid creation that mixes theatre, dance and an undefinable something else, which possibly comes from the very personal universe of Edgar Allan Poe, the author of The Angel of the Odd (L’Ange du Bizarre, in Baudelaire’s classic French translation). Hamlet’s ghosts have returned to the TNSJ stage. “Bid the soldiers shoot the volleys of style!”
