Hamletmachine
Concluded
©Lucie Jansch
The meeting between two different forms of genius, the German playwright Heiner Müller, recognised as the most important German writer of the 20th century, after Bertolt Brecht, and the director Robert Wilson, who interprets the work, creating an ironical sow.

Teatro Studio Melato
The return to the stage of Hamletmachine by Heiner Müller as seen by Robert Wilson with the young actors of the Accademia Nazionale d’Arte Drammatica Silvio d’Amico.
A meditation on Hamlet and endless other matters, from other works by Shakespeare to the Hungarian uprising of 1956 to a kind of feminist revenge against uncertain masculinity, which does not tell a story or develop characters in the traditional sense.
Müller and Wilson share a mysticism full of apolitical imagery, as far removed from commercial American theatrical conventions as it is from the pity of socialism.
Duration: one hour and 40 minutes without interval
