Based on the play by William Shakespeare
Adaptation by Robert Wilson and Wolfgang Wiens
Music by Hans Peter Kuhn
Performed by Robert Wilson
Premiered on May 24, 1995 at the Alley Theater, Houston, Texas Subsequent performances at the Venice Biennale, Lincoln Center, MC 93 Bobigny (Festival d’Automne), Teatro Central Seville, Hebbel Theater Berlin, Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Teatr Narodowy Warsaw, Holland Festival, Japan Theater Olympics and several othersRobert Wilson said that playing Hamlet was like performing from a diary or a journal. The way he identified with it, with respect to the movement, the color of voice, in the speaking of the text and the associations of the text, for him it felt very personal. Shakespeare's text, according to Wilson, is "this indestructible rock." In rethinking the text as a monologue, Wilson found a way for Hamlet to speak the text as a flashback: "It started just before he dies, and ended with his last speech. This one second before he dies, one sees the whole play, the whole life. One can see him seeing the situation, so you can see him in many different ways, as a child, a boy; reflecting on an older person, listening to an older person, being an older person; being a woman, being a man..."
