Hamlet Split Apart

Hamlet is not one person. He never was. In this 60 minute production, Hamlet is divided across three performers — the youngest of whom is nine years old. Together they externalize what Shakespeare always knew was true: that love, rage, and survival cannot share a body without tearing it apart. Drawn from Freud's structural model of the psyche and contemporary research on dissociation as survival, they are three complete people who happen to share one body, held together not by integration but by its failure.
