Hamlet Wants to repair a broken world and resorts to revenge for it. It can only get difficult. Ersan full moon day and Wilke Weermann Set out to expose the violence that lies behind this supposed cleanup project: What does the son take over from his father while he believes he is finally acting for himself?

Sebastian Zimmler Plays Hamlet, Pierre Emö Ophelia and Fortinbras take over. The handling of Shakespeare’s material thus puts the relationship between personal revenge and social relations at the center. The desire for justice is quickly expressed. It becomes interesting where he fights the old order with his own means.

The stage is also designed for the moon day; the music comes from Robert Lippok. The director was involved in the German pavilion of the Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art in 2024. Visual arts and acting are closely linked in his work. In this Hamlet, the space therefore belongs to the artistic approach as much as the spoken word.
