An extraordinary festival of performance design, including exhibitions, performances
and diverse events,attracted over 15,000 visitors from 71 countries.
Visual performance based on the W. Shakespeare's play "Hamlet". There are no characters in this performance. Shakespeare's famous drama "Hamlet" is a shadow play to the accompaniment of a child's voice, naively and inconsistently retelling the main themes of the play. Gertrude, Ophelia, Hamlet, Claudius, and the ghost of the former owner of Elsinore - they all are bright spots of light seen in the dark, which creates completely new and surprising associations with a textbook story. Director Leduhovsky immerses the viewer into complete darkness, in which different images are born. This production resembles a disturbing, mysterious fairy tale, a dream, with vibrant silhouette of Ophelia, whose immense veil turns suddenly into the river, and the grotesque masks of Gertrude and Claudius remind casts of dead persons. All action takes place in an unreal space - a small black box. From the emptiness of nothingness, as if from the distant past come the associative scenes based on the Shakespeare's plot.
