TELL ME (NO) TALES. HAMLET

HAMLET

Composers - Sergey Rachmaninov, Linda Leimane

Choreographer Antons Freimans

Sets and Costumes MAREUNROL'S

Inspired by the subtexts of Shakespeare’s tragedy "Hamlet", Antons Freimans stages his first full length ballet. In the production Freimans tackles man’s relationship to death, and challenges the audience with a portrayal of intergenerational dialogue – a dialogue between the past and the future. The score reflects this theme as it is presented as a conversation between an old master and a contemporary composer.
