I’ll go home and tell that old woman who gave birth to me that her old husband died when she was away. I’ll convince her to get married again and I’ll sell her for thirty or fifty taels of silver to pay off my gambling debts. Isn’t that a great idea?
(Dong, a Chinese child)
Adapted from a Chinese shadow play and embedded within a larger framework of a social event at Alfred’s Mala Scena, this quirky reversed Hamlet is the very first step in the group’s collective practical research into the theatricality of private spaces. Each evening we also welcome a special guest for a lively, casual discussion.
