Hamlet Theater Rotterdam: Erik Whien
Young Hamlet mourns his father, but finds no space in his environment. His mother quickly remarries for political reasons, which exacerbates his inner struggle. Repressed sadness leads to anger and self-destruction.
After critically acclaimed performances such as Revolutionary Road and Sadness is the Thing with Feathers , director Erik Whien and actor Jacob Derwig join forces again for a play about grief, loss and resilience. The Shakespearean classic Hamlet is adapted into universal and personal theatre, played by Hannah Hoekstra, Jacob Derwig and Roman Derwig. The last two are also father and son in real life. This Hamlet also becomes a theatrical mirror palace: a play within a play, which explores complex themes such as education, unconditionality and the foundations of mutual trust through the story of the Danish prince.
