In this critically acclaimed production – based on Hamlet and devised by Anna Rakowska and Piotr Misztela — the actors explore the key scene between Hamlet and Ophelia.
These two characters are engaged in a constant and dangerous game, forced by the depth of their feelings to fight and to play. Interacting constantly with the audience and with the environment in which they are playing, Anna and Piotr create a performance based on improvisation in which the actors examine the boundaries of theatre, giving viewers the opportunity to explore their own expression of feelings and most importantly to decide.
