Introduction
"Hamlet" is a poetic revolt: raw, confronting, iridiscent, antisocial. A subversive and riveting performance from the young and unconventional Boris Nikitin.
In a performance between queer and punk, the dazzling performer and electro musician Julian Meding is crossfading his own biography with the one of a contemporary Hamlet, protesting against reality. Nikitin’s and Meding's “Hamlet” is not retelling the story of Shakespeares play but it is using it as a frame to rethink identity, individuality, illness and reality. Τhey transform Shakespeare’s most popular work, in an electro-pop performance that plays games with our gaze, our imagination and our desire.
