In this Hamlet Solo A dramatic device is explicit that reveals the orphaned nature of Hamlet, His inevitable and absolute scenic and existential solitude; In a breathless crossing of the text, The actress implodes within the other characters, The only 'alive' tool of a visual score of spectra.

SHAKESPEARE HAMLET 1999 | 2019
Lenz's theatrical language is based on an extreme and radical fidelity to the word of the text. In the search for the heroic state of the actor, theater takes shape in the oscillation between weakness and strength, vulnerability and power of the speaking body. The extreme state of feeling, the passion that moves and pushes towards death, the tragic killing of the hero, the condition of dreams and reality, the mystery of the human condition, they are generated by the act of speaking, the full body of the voice. Polyphonic bridge between ancient and modern, between general and particular, between language and dialect, l’Hamlet of Shakespeare is a powerful echo of the art of theater in the contemporary and renewal of language. Poetry, playwriting, regia, actor's work – between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries – again to research the conditions of birth together, of the unveiling, of existence and non-existence, of the enigma and the impossibility of representing.

A disconcerting Barbara Voghera, whose sensational quality of actress has been able to keep magnetically I know For about an hour the scene, the characters and the comparison with the public. more
Daniele Rizzo, Persinsala

Shakespeare is launched, reduced to the essential, and returned through subject, color and perspective […] The fire of the direction of Maria Federica Maestri does not seem so much to communicate the struggle of Hamlet, How much to build an atmosphere of decadent terror, a sense of visceral death for a world that is already beyond the possibility of changing it. more
Matteo Brighenti, PaneAcquaCulture.it

It takes all Lenz's pragmatic sensitivity to take a stainless classic like Hamlet and give him a further hermeneutic thrust (that is, an unexpected interpretation) as unsettling as it is immediate. Hamlet drama, Indeed, It is not the “romantic” be or not to be, but be or becoming.
