Visionary director Robert Lepage (Cirque du Soleil, The Metropolitan Opera) brings his signature blend of theatrical innovation and epic visual storytelling to this bold new dance-theater adaptation of Hamlet, created in collaboration with acclaimed choreographer and performer Guillaume Côté.
This gripping production, presented by Toronto-based Côté Danse and Lepage’s multidisciplinary company Ex Machina, fuses movement and drama into a mesmerizing experience. Côté, a former principal dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, takes on the title role with raw emotion and athletic power. Hailed as “a match made in performing arts heaven” and “the can’t-miss dance event of the year” (The Guardian), Hamlet is an evening of adventurous, innovative spectacle.
