A father returns as a ghost, a son faces his inheritance, and old sins reach into the present. Hamlets skyer weaves Shakespeare's story together with his own loss: his son Hamnet, who died aged eleven, and Hamlet, the prince who inherits both love and violence.
Odin Teatret's physical and performance theatre moves freely between times and spaces. Children and adults live through war, conflict and grief, alongside moments of beauty and human vulnerability. Through ritual, physical theatre and poetry, the piece asks what we pass on and what we carry with us. It is part of Bridges, not walls, a celebration of Eugenio Barba's 90th birthday.
The cast includes:
- Else Marie Laukvik
- Julia Varley
- Ulrik Skeel
- Rina Skeel
- Antonia Cioaza
- Jakob Nielsen
The production also plays on several other evenings at the theatre this December.
