ROBERT LEPAGE & GUILLAUME CÔTÉ
The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark
Dance Theatre
Step into a world where movement speaks louder than words and experience a groundbreaking fusion of theater and dance from legendary director Robert Lepage and internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Guillaume Côté with their revolutionary ballet of The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark.
Hailed as “Gripping” and “Imaginative” by the Chicago Tribune, this is not the Hamlet from the classroom, but a new unparalleled journey into the heart of Shakespear’s timeless classic tale and Prince Hamlet’s quest for revenge against his uncle Claudius for the murder of his father, and who has since gone on to marry his mother, Gertrude.
Helmed by one of the greatest theatre visionaries – Robert Lepage (Cirque du Soleil, Metropolitan Opera) and choregraphed by world-renowned dancer Guillaume Côté (National Ballet of Canada), this collaboration has been lauded as a “can’t miss dance event of the year” by The Toronto Guardian. Together, they have crafted a version of Hamlet that communicates the depth of Shakespeare's characters and the intricacies of his plot without a single spoken word. Paired with an intense and emotional original score, this innovative theatrical dance production blurs the lines between reality and the subconscious.
“A gripping, intensely athletic, and visually enchanting dance interpretation of... Hamlet! If you've never seen someone dancing with a skull this is the moment! Ophelia drowns stunningly. Brilliant collaboration between Robert Lepage, Guillaume Côté, & Show One Productions." - Margaret Atwood, Author
“We are witnessing something that will go down in history. A two-hour show of non-stop extraordinary intensity. The cast is fabulous. The staging is brilliant, the choreography magnificent.” - Journal des citoyens
