After his father's death in strange circumstances, Hamlet sinks into doubt and perhaps also into madness. When reason falters, how can one distinguish truth from lies, how can one tell the loyal from the traitors?
Crafted by the creative minds of director Robert Lepage & choreographer Guillaume Côté, this extraordinary rendition relies solely on movement, music, and innovative set design to unfold the timeless story of Hamlet in a way never seen before.

Après le décès de son père en d’étranges circonstances, Hamlet sombre dans le doute et peut-être aussi dans la folie. Quand la raison vacille, comment distinguer le vrai du faux, comment départager les fidèles des traîtres?
Conçue par les esprits créatifs du metteur en scène Robert Lepage et du chorégraphe Guillaume Côté, cette adaptation extraordinaire s'appuie uniquement sur le mouvement, la musique et une scénographie innovante pour raconter l'histoire intemporelle de Hamlet d'une manière inédite.
