Stephanie Mielnicki
World-class mime theatre. New and groundbreaking version of Hamlet – without intelligible words! Freely interpreted after William Shakespeare.
Hamlet is Prince of Denmark, and when his father the King dies, Hamlet's mother Gertrude quickly marries the king's envious brother, the advisor Claudius.
The king appears as a ghost and tells Hamlet how things really work, and that Hamlet must avenge Claudius's murder of his father.
Hamlet's beloved Ophelia becomes an important player in the great battle for the throne, which does not end well for either of them.
A revenge tragedy about power, betrayal and pain, told nonverbally - in a light and playful tone, suitable for children from 7 years old.

A strictly nonverbal performance about the freedom of speech and expression. Or allmost word-less. It's the intention to make a show about the precarious subject; free speech, without saying a word. Is it possible?
The physical performer takes the audience through a variety of different scenes, characters and stories about expressions in our modern world of today.
Without a word. Strictly. Allmost.
