Trash-Hamlet

Summary/Abstract: The title of the play, Au moins j’aurais laissé un beau cadavre (premiere: Festival in Avignon, July 2011) is a verbatim quote from a Quentin Tarantino film. In his modernised production of Hamlet, director Vincent Macaigne acknowledges pop-culture readings of Shakespeare. The “process of constructing the play itself and the ostentatious deconstruction of its many sources and narratives” is more important than the interpretation of the drama. The artists consciously use threadbare and overused strategies – deconstruction, collage, installations, happenings – to build their “recycled Hamlet.”
