Musical theater with live band - "Something is rotten in the state":
Denmark: Hamlet's father has died. Shortly afterwards, his mother Gertrude marries the deceased's brother, Claudius. When Hamlet learns that Claudius has murdered his father, he seeks revenge.
Caught between social constraints, his love for Ophelia and the doubt of whether he should take revenge or end his life, the tragedy takes its course.
Classic Shakespeare texts meet contemporary live music. The set combines modern design with steampunk costumes, complemented by large puppets specially made for the play by Hans Dieter Flerlage, which can be worn on the back and stomach.
