Theater heute: It's an evening that holds us while making us swing. (...) There are only a few directors who lead theatre to a critical point as Boris Nikitin currently does.
teatrojornal (Brazil):
Created for these times of expansion of body consciousness as a battlefield and exposed to the gaze, this solo joins a list of hybrid stagings that require the opening of gaps in the intellectual and affective repertoire for their full reception.
“Hamlet” is not a retelling of Shakespeare’s play but uses Shakespeare’s material as a mask with which to reflect on identity, individuality, delusion and reality. In a mixture of experimental documentary performance and queer music-theatre, the performer and electro-musician Julian Meding takes on the role of a contemporary Hamlet rebelling against reality. Supported by the award-winning Basel string quartet “The Musical Garden”, Meding embarks on a tour de force, in which he reveals himself, his body and his biography to the eyes of the audience. Is it even Meding? Or is it Hamlet? Is everything just a game? To be or not to be? Or both at the same time? “Hamlet” is all about poetic revolt: raw, coarse-grained, confrontational, anti-social and dazzling.
