Description

Teatro La Plaza’s enigmatic interpretation of a Shakespearean classic, full of personal anecdotes from a cast made up of eight actors who have Down’s Syndrome.

Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza reinvents Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet into a joyful and enigmatic production. Inspired by the famous monologue, ‘To Be or Not To Be’ is incorporated into a rap performed by eight actors. Rather than telling one man's story, director and writer Chela De Ferrari's interpretation hones in on the importance of community.
