I have something in my depth that cannot be represented. HAMLET

A story of longing, lack, and desperate attempts to find safety.

This is probably the most personal play in the work of Paweł Demirski, who after a five-year break returns to the theater and together with Remigiusz Brzyk creates a play in which the 90s meet the present and Hamlet functions in a world dominated by patriarchy.

A man in his 40s, raised by women, wants a symbolic adoption and wants to choose a new father himself. A personal sense of emptiness, of loss after a lost parent, is confronted with Hamlet's relationship with his deceased father and Claudius. In the context of the growing frustration and radicalization of young men and the crisis of male identity, the story of fatherhood, an attempt to understand and redefine it seems essential today.

The script uses fragments of William Shakespeare's “Hamlet” translated by Maciej Słomczyński.
