The Hamlet Complex — Dance and Theatre: Oslo Opera House

About the Event

This is a new and grand Hamlet by Alan Lucien Øyen, with dance, theatre and spectacular sets.
Looks at Hamlet with fresh eyes

“We will neither dance nor act Hamlet,” says Øyen. “We will shatter the plot of the play and hold the fractured shards up as a viewfinder to our own time.” Øyen is one of the most exciting figures in the Norwegian performing arts. He is an established choreographer, playwright and director. In 2018 he created a new work for Pina Bausch's legendary company, and last time he collaborated with the Norwegian National Ballet the result was the infinitely beautiful ballet Timelapse. As then he and set designer Åsmund Færavaag create the visual universe together.
