Many quotes from the play Hamlet have found their way into our everyday life. We will ask ourselves what some selected sayings mean and what they tell us about the dramatic characters. Participants will show their associations and thoughts in groups in collages, in which they will connect words with visual material and thus learn about the message of Shakespeare's tragedy.
To be or not to be Hamlet (management with workshop, 120 minutes, primary school 3, upper secondary school)
With the help of the comic, the participants will get to know or reconstruct the content of Hamlet and at the exhibition they will see how Shakespeare's tragedy was performed in our country in different periods, with different approaches and in different media. Afterwards, the participants will also try their hand at acting out shorter scenes and put their stamp on the dramatic characters.
