EX MACHINA + CÔTÉ DANSE - HAMLET, PRINCE DU DANEMARK

An artistic summit inspired by Hamlet, between choreographer and principal dancer Guillaume Côté and theatre maker and director Robert Lepage. An exceptional evening!

After the success of Frame by Frame, which they co-created in 2018 based on the work of animation filmmaker Norman McLaren, Côté and Lepage now tackle Hamlet, whose mesmerizing hero—played here by Guillaume Côté—gives the work an almost mythical status. Transcending words to reveal the character’s dark side and deep humanity, the creators challenge themselves to approach him solely through dance—delivered by an ensemble of nine virtuoso performers, a minimalist set, and John Gzowski’s music. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark transports us to a world of deceptive appearances, where ghosts and humans mingle. A unique interpretation of Shakespeare’s tragedy; a must see!
