Teater Normcore : Hamlet Fansuri

Expect a dark nusantara, ambient site-specific recital as Teater Normcore presents Hamlet Fansuri featuring an experiential soundscape by Kicau Bilau. It is a new translation and re-adaption of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet with characters such as Prince of Denmark performed in Malay by Ridhwan Saidi, with the poetry of Hamzah Fansuri (a 16th century Sumatran Sufi poet). The recital begins with a Malay translation and re-fragmentation of Heiner Müller’s Hamletmachine and Comte de Lautréamont’s Maldoror in a piece called OPHELIA MALDOROR as its opening act.
