About the show
Two individuals, one agitated and talkative, the other taciturn and silent, stand before the audience to present their show: William Shakespeare's Hamlet. One in a bric-a-brac castelet. The other sits on a chair nearby.
The one in the castelet will re-enact the tragedy of Prince Hamlet, assigning roles to objects. But his clumsiness, his over-enthusiasm and his multiple deviations make the performance increasingly shaky. Assisted by the man next door (sound effects, music and other effects), they will tell Denmark's terrible fate, whatever the cost.
This duo shortens a four-hour play to 60 minutes, and a desire to popularize the great classics drives this original creation, which doesn't hesitate to draw on cinematic references to get at the drama and stir up the audience's laughter.
