Our Hamlet is a very Israeli Hamlet from the language to its energy. As soon as local theater is authentic in its place, it has an opportunity abroad. If you look at Kurosawa's films for example, they are very local and very Japanese. When they retain their identity and if they're excellent, they have a chance abroad. Our Hamlet is honest and genuine. It crosses the barrier of language. |
Theater is about sharing an experience. Through theater you can recognize and meet the society that it's born in, the temperament, the themes, the energy, the view, how things are looked at politically, humanly. Shakespeare is a good meeting point for such an encounter. It's like a diamond - it depends how you look at it. In each angle it reflects different light, different meaning. |
