About the project

Hamlet – Fleisch Maschine

A Hamlet that cannot wake up.

This experimental version sits between Shakespeare and Heiner Müller’s Die Hamletmaschine. Reality and dream keep intertwining, and the space becomes an image of inner unrest and of responsibility for one’s own actions.

My role

I shaped the concept, worked on material and text, researched, built the structure of the production and accompanied the director and actors through rehearsals.
