The tragedy of a hopeful young man who has a task placed on his shoulders that weighs too heavily for him, which he fails at and ultimately perishes, symbolises a successor generation, its values and ideals and the decision to rebel against the abuse of power, manipulation and corruption in politics and restore justice. The production approaches the European classic with the formal means of traditional theatre. The archetypal characteristics and ambivalences of the characters are emphasised through concentrated physicality and symbolic costumes. A simple, poetic visual language allows us to concentrate on Shakespeare's study of man and his linguistic masterpiece.
Featuring: Benjamin Krüger (Hamlet, Prince of Denmark), Peter Beck (Polonius, undertaker), Uwe Neumann (King Claudius, ghost), Saskia von Winterfeld (Queen Gertrud, actress), Philipp Myk (Laertes, ghost, Rosenkranz), Adrian Stowasser (Horatio, ghost, Güldenstern), Helena Krey (Ophelia, ghost, Fortinbras).
Director: Mathias Schönsee / Set: Luisa Holst and Christian Schönsee / Music: Bernd Medek / Dramaturgy: Christian Leonard

Globe Berlin summer season “Power & Powerlessness”
From June 20 to September 13, the Charlottenburg Globe Berlin will once again be the venue for genuine popular theater in a unique open-air setting. The current program includes plays by Shakespeare (German/English), Goethe and Schiller, as well as word art evenings and swing concerts. Until the reconstruction of the former Schwäbisch Hall circular theater building on Sömmeringstraße is possible, a ring-shaped catwalk made of wooden components of the future Globe will serve as an open-air stage. The audience sits in the middle of the action. Admission costs between 20 and 26 euros (concessions 16 to 21 euros). Tickets can be booked via www.globe.berlin, directly from Ticketmaster and via the usual advance booking offices (plus additional costs where applicable).
