Hamlet from the East
Astounding Conversion of the Shakespearean Tragedy In Hamlet from the East, you cannot hear the lines to be or not to be that is the question and you cannot see Ophelia, either.
Hamlet from the East borrows the essential points of the Shakespearean tragedy, and reconstructs them in Korean and also in universal dramatic language.
Hamlet from the East shows the completion of theatrical beauty that is simple and compressed as well as rich and delicate by dropping the poetic lines and baroque plot of the original play and instead, using nonverbal expressions like gesture, music, lights, and costumes.
Moreover, in Hamlet from the East, you can observe both of the tradition and the present, the western worldview and the eastern emotion.
Death in Hamlet from the East cannot be distinguished from the life, while the theme of death and life in the original play is primarily based on the typical western view of clear distinction between the dead and the alive.
