Summary/Abstract: The text is a reflection on Barbara Frey’s interpretation of Hamlet at the Zurich Schauspielhaus, season 2018/2019. In this provocative version of the play the act is actually happening on the scene of Hamlet’s consciousness. The ‘inaction’ should be understood literally as the numb, statuary presence of the actor Jan Bülow on the stage and as impossibility of revenge for his father. This impossibility is especially important, it has a physical image in the otherwise ecstatic performance with structure based on music.
