Hamlet

The “Mihai Eminescu” National Theatre, Kishinyov, Moldova, 1998
Author: William Shakespeare
Directed by Sandu Vasilache

about the production

Hamlet staged by the Kishinyov theatre company offers an unusual interpretation, where the violent events are understood from the perspective of a well-known idea "to be or not to be". The characters, in director's highly spiritual vision, do not develop through their own activity - searching for power, desire to avenge or desire for justice. They are lured by the immense and incessant death attraction which is a pass to the other world, to the world of clear feelings and rediscovered innocence. To the world of quietude which comes only after suffering and death.
