Hamletmachine

Description

Description

Play by the greatest theatre poet after Samuel Beckett, Heiner Müller

I long to be a machine, feeling no pain, muting all senses

Hamlets are there all over Hong Kong

In history, there have been reincarnations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet

What he is now struggling with is no longer his hatred to his unfaithful mother, who murdered his father

Nor his safety

But the never-ending brutal power

He is Hamlet

In the ruin

With his mind muted

He longs to be a machine

He longs to be a woman
