Intro

The true Hamlet story with Hamlet’s monologue, recreated with the highlights of Pansori!

Synopsis

A project of Hamlet’s self-disruption, made by four Hamlets!

Pansori Hamlet Project is a work maximizing Hamlet’s agony by setting Hamlet’s self into four people. This work thoroughly shows the agony and alleviation process of a young person, who identifies his father’s undeserved death, and is a story of the true Hamlet that Hamlet himself is making. Hamlet’s long soliloquy consists of the dialogues of Hamlet, Ophelia’s conversation is composed of songs, and the scene of fighting with swords by Hamlet and Laertes, the last highlight of the pansori, consists of a vivid and tense pansori scene. Hamlet’s agony and the sense of weight that the original work has are revitalized, creating a sense of alleviation, and thus this pansori Hamlet shows Hamlet is no different from us.

Review

"Pansori Hamlet Project gives you the pleasure of enjoying the musical quality of Shakespearian Language through its heightened, unique Pansori style. The sounds of the actors are pure, crystalline, highly intelligible, with which the arranged story go together nicely."
