Summary/Abstract: A review of Hamlet directed by Jan Klata at the Schauspielhaus in Bochum (premiere: 9.03.2013). The author sees Hamlet as an artist in this performance. The court, on the other hand, is chiefly a stage, though not always in the purely theatrical sense. As such, one of the main themes of the play is the artist's approach to reality. This issue concerns both social and political art, and the public game in which artists are entangled. This dual perspective appears to generate the existence of two audiences. The first is the imaginary audience, those for whom the figures create their "media" images. The second is the theater audience, to whom more is revealed.
