Our office is in airplanes, taxis, and bullet trains. All we need is our kit and a map. We dream globally, the planet is our construction site. We came up with different futuristic scenarios one of them was: DUBAILBERG In the year 2020, a large corporation acquired the bankrupt county of Vorarlberg/Austria… They kept the political apparatus in place, but came up with a plan to revitalize the area with a radical new design. The plan centered around a series of buildings that represented the local, culture and natural habitat with the aim of attracting tourism and new businesses into the county. The buildings were to be designed by star architects to give the area a futuristic new look. They hoped that by attracting new people and businesses they can create demand for new developments - public housings, new public transportation systems, hotels, airport, and leisure time facilities. Vorarlberg, in the eyes of the new corporation, should become the Mecca of the new world.

We deal with only one short scene: Act 1, Scene 5. The center of our dive into William Shakespeare’s Hamlet concerns the evocation of the desire to know what past performances of the play looked like. Our Hamlet is a theatrical palimpsest, a presentation whereby a selective history of different Hamlets sits on the stage with our recreation of that history, live on the same stage. Parts are erased and written over, visible as fragments. The past is recycled, repurposed, and re-imagined while in partial view. It is also, primarily, a ghost story, an interpretation where the ethereal specter of Hamlet’s history as a performed piece of theater rides shotgun with the paternal visitations of Hamlet’s dead father; Hamlet, haunted by the ghost of itself. It is also about the mechanism of theatre. How one actor breaks apart the role of another actor, discovering one’s acting technique through the use of simulation, of becoming a character that is precisely another actor’s interpretation of a character. We take Hamlet apart by calling the entire enterprise of interpreting Hamlet into question, by showing just how transmutable theatre is, how malleable a text (a play, a film, a performance) can be, and how tradition and authority are very much open to question. Which, not surprisingly, is what Hamlet himself is all about.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="40px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Performers: Anna Mendelssohn, Irene Coticchio, Yosi Wanunu, Jonas Ferdiand Kilga Written and directed by Yosi Wanunu Produced by Kornelia Kilga WUK Wien/ Nov 3 – 6, 2008[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="80px"][vc_separator color="black"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
