HamletScenen manages a unique and inalienable cultural heritage with a starting point in the works of the always masterly William Shakespeare, that through the centuries continues to be deeply relevant for any reflection on the human condition and existence yesterday, today and tomorrow. In a time where death is tabooed like never before, and where existence is something that only a few ponder on in between smartphones and children being put to bed, HamletScenen insists on creating and presenting theatre, that embraces the big questions in life. Besides welcoming guest performances to the stage at HamletScenen, I have produced and directed several in-house productions such as Hamlet in 2017 and Richard III in 2019. Show less
