In Germany, the Mogilev theater will show Hamlet directed by Igor Kazakov, the Grand Prix winner won at the 8th International Youth Theater Forum M@rt. contact 2013, BelTA learned from the administration of the theater.
The production was premiered on 15 December 2012. The performance was the first attempt in Belarus to stage William Shakespeare’s tragedy on the stage of a puppet theater. It has been nominated for the National Theater Award this year. According to many critics, the production of the Mogilev theater breaks the lasting stereotype that there is no experimental theater in Belarus. The production is universal, as it is emotionally interesting both for professional theatergoers and regular people. Igor Kazakov has created a vivid image of the contemporary Hamlet demonstrating the behavior, ideas and emotions of a whole generation.
