Title: Radio TripleRRR Melb -Win DP to RISING: Hamlet/Closes 26/5/25 Post by: oldfellow on Tuesday 20 May 2025, 03:47:42 am https://www.rrr.org.au/subscriber-giveaways/rising-hamlet
Closes 26 May 2025, 4 pm RISING: Hamlet A neurodiverse cast give “to be or not to be?” a new, life-affirming perspective in this dazzling Shakespearean mash-up. Eight performers with Down syndrome joyously deconstruct Hamlet in this adaptation from Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza. It’s a dazzling mash-up that melds film with live performance and turns the age-old question of Hamlet’s madness back in on itself. The actors are each on the prince’s quest for self but they’re also together, as they face shared obstacles to their expressions of uniqueness. In the process, they dare to ask whether “to be or not to be,” is really the question. Or is it the yardstick of normality–in a conformist, productivity-obsessed society–that could really use a closer look? Hamlet is on at Union Theatre, The University of Melbourne from 4 - 8 June as part of RISING. More information and tickets can be found here.
