Hamlet…ou presque

by William Shakespeare, adapted by Miriam Cusson March 1 & 2, 2019 at 7:30 PM March 3, 2019 at 2:00 PM March 7, 8 & 9, 2019 at 7:30 PM Perhaps the story of Hamlet is not one of madness but rather one of surveillance and treacherous manipulation. A story of liars and power seekers doing what they need to do, anything, to be on top. A story which resonates fiercely throughout the ages. When a group of people are abducted and forced to reenact this classic tragedy under constant surveillance, everything that could possibly go wrong does. Hamlet…ou presque is a deconstructed bilingual subversion of the classic tragedy. A dark comedic retelling where poetry and pop-culture clash, where our willingness to surveil and to be surveilled is the question.
