Hamlet

Shakespeare was already writing about Gen Z.

Hamlet is an attempt to reinterpret and modernize the plot of Shakespeare’s drama. The action is transferred into a technofeudal reality, in which the highest form of power is held by corporate states. The son of the former CEO of the company “DENMARK” returns to the company for his father’s funeral and learns about the causes of his death. Meanwhile, a rebellion breaks out in a recently acquired company producing AI models, “NORWAY”. Is there any chance for revolution?

Hamlet brings together three main themes: Family, Death and Law, which form the structural foundation of the drama.

The creators of the production contest the right of inheritance as a capitalist tool of exploitation rooted in feudalism and patriarchy.

At the same time, they ask about the meaning of rebellion and the fight against the system, offering a diagnosis of the revolutionary potential of Generation Z.

This new adaptation of Hamlet draws deeply on internet culture. The production places strong emphasis on meta-theatrical devices and direct contact with the audience.
