Hamlet
performed by the Ryutopia Noh Theatre, Niigata, Japan, and
directed by Yoshihiro Kurita

It is without a doubt the most important play ever written on this earth. Why do all the actors in the world want to play Hamlet? “They all want to play Hamlet”, says the famous poet Carl Sandberg

The motivations of this option are hard to express in just a few words.
“Hamlet”, masterpiece of the masterpieces, offers infinite possibilities and perspectives to all those that delve in it.
The themes of “Hamlet” are inexhaustible.

That was the question. Fortunately, it received many positive answers.
The Shakespeare Festival is marked under the Hamlet Constellation this year. That is why we feel that the motto “The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right!” gains new echoes for each of us.
