Sassari, at the Astra "Hamlet – A Grain in the Mind's Eye"

To what extent is revenge justice? It's a question William Shakespeare already posed in Hamlet. A timely question, explored in the play "Hamlet – A Grain in the Mind's Eye," which will be performed Saturday at 8:30 pm at the Teatro Astra in Sassari.

The English bard's comedy is reinterpreted by TeatroZeta thanks to an adaptation by Jared McNeill and Manuele Morgese . The play is directed by McNeill .

On stage, Manuele Morgese , Diletta Masetti , and Matteo Ciccioli , accompanied by music by Béla Bartók , explore the psyche of a prince suspended between dream and reality. Set in the endless night of a recurring nightmare, this adaptation of Hamlet strips the story to its essentials, exploring the prince's descent into paranoia as he follows his father's ghost into decay. The adaptation delves into Hamlet's psyche as he navigates a landscape of ruin in his dying mind, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination through the visual language of dream and shadow, and examining his complicity in horrific acts as if driven by an obsession without concrete evidence of any crime.

The title is on the programme of the XXXV “Ethnia e Teatralità” festival , organised by the Compagnia Teatro Sassari.
