As a continuation of the exhibition Hamlet in Slovenia, we are the Slovenian Theater Institute and Novi Zato. in cooperation with Slovenian theaters, the Prodok teater TV center, the Historical Archive of Celje and Radio Slovenia, they also prepared a virtual exhibition on the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare.
Hamlet is the trickster of every age, including today. To think about being or not being, about the land of prison, about revenge, guilt, deciding on action, taking responsibility, betting one's life, believing in change... are Hamlet's principles that express an active attitude towards the world. Through getting to know Hamlet as a cultural heritage, the dramatic text and its translations, the theatrical performance and its champions... it is possible to get to know yourself and (re)think your relationship to others and the world.
The exhibition Slovenian Hamlets presents twenty-three Slovenian Hamlets, twenty-three Slovenian theater champions who interpreted Shakespeare's King of Denmark in twenty-two Slovenian productions, from 1899 to 2013, and sound recordings of the famous monologue To be or not to be, in six Slovenian translations interpreted by Branko Sturbey.
The exhibition was created at the Slovenian Theater Institute (SLOGI) as a continuation of the exhibition Hamlet in Slovenia, which was on view in Cankarjev dom from January 11 to March 14, 2016.
