The Unquiet Mind

Anastasia Stern, Ellie Mather, Tisa Klicek • Professional company

50 minutes•Upper Theatre (Thrust)
Directed by Daniela Poch and adapted by Anastasia Stern using the text of William Shakespeare. Hamlet is reimagined through a dynamic fusion of text, movement and music. This fresh reworking explores themes of identity, agency, and inner turmoil, focusing on the complex relationships between Hamlet and the women in his life - Gertrude and Ophelia. With influences from Pina Bausch's Tanztheater, the production delves into the raw struggle between life and death. It is a transcendental and devastating journey through Hamlet's world that challenges us to reflect on the questions of existence, free will, and love.
