Sample text
In each case, the script becomes interwoven into the staging by means of digital and non-digital media, with theatre as a hypermedium combining text, music soundtrack, and video. Hamlice, dir. Armando Punzo (2010) Punzo’s production confronts the myth of Hamlet as a literary masterpiece through figures of the poet, symbols of the book, and the very acts of writing and reading embedded into the performance. In his portrayal of Hamlet, the director echoes the Romantic tradition of reading and acting the character as an oversensitive individual, driven into madness and murder.
I don’t take part any more’ (1984, p. 56). Punzo’s protagonist does not deliver the Shakespearean soliloquies. Instead, he follows Laforgue’s prose version of the play: he desires a beautiful woman, Kate, and imagines running away with her to Paris. He also invites other characters to appear on stage to recite their stories to the spectators, allowing them to overwrite his scenario. When at the end of the performance Hamlet renounces his role to become Alice, his deconstruction of the Romantic role becomes almost complete.
For this staging, as for his other Shakespeare productions, Pucher commissioned a new translation from a dramaturge and scholar, Jens Roselt, who not only modernised the language, but also emphasised the play’s metatheatrical character. On the basis of this version, Pucher rewrote the text with the assistance of the Kammerspiele dramaturge, Matthias Günther, focusing on Prospero and Ariel as dramatists and directors. 16 At the same time, the German script maintains traces of its relationship with ‘the original’ and ‘authentic’ Shakespeare.
