HAMLETMACHINE is a post modern ” meditation on ”Hamlet” written by East German Playwright Heiner Müller. The performance will be presented as a multi-media work using video and audio as well as live actors.
HAMLETMACHINE was written by Heiner Müller in 1977, it is considered one of Müller’s best works. Written in 5 acts, like Hamlet, this experimental take on Shakespeare’s Tragedy is a mere 6 pages long and yet some productions oh this play have lasted 8 hours. The work addresses issues such as Communism, feminism, 1956 Hungarian revolt, consumerism and of course “Hamlet”.
“the shrunken head of the Hamlet tragedy”
“[HAMLETMACHINE] may be read as a pamphlet against the delusions of innocence in this, our world.”
- Heiner Müller
