In Spanish with English supertitles
TeatroStageFest will feature the United States premiere of the first ever Mexican/Colombian production of Hamlet. New York audiences will be exposed to a distinctively Latin American Hamlet, which reveals new perspectives on this classic work that hint at Colombia's current political climate while staying true to Shakespeare's original story. This modern Spanish translation, set in the 1950's, is visual, visceral, and hard-hitting. It dispenses with archaic language and offers a sardonic humor that is distinctively Mexican.
