A therapeutic fantasy about the romantics of gender<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A depressed maiden<\/strong>, with a skull for a pet,<\/strong> fantasizes about becoming Hamlet<\/strong> \u2013 the ultimate tormented man. She longs to be a poet, to be a philosopher, to be an avenger, to be an actor, to be or not to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a dark and desperate night<\/strong>, and the agents of her troubled soul reveal themselves to her, manifesting as three demonic and mysterious figures. The trio promises to shake her out of her self-pity, to free her from her conceits, and above all \u2013 to cure her of her strange obsession with the same doleful Danish prince. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But their labor proves to be harder than expected.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will<\/strong> they loosen the iron grip of this age-old archetype on her body and soul? Through a series of treatments \u2013 including coaching, psychoanalysis, gynecological surgery,
and psychodrama \u2013 they hope to put an end to her perpetual melancholy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible to become a free woman without the tortured man?
Is it possible to awaken and still be dreaming?
Is it possible to part from Hamlet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fantastical theatrical journey<\/strong> through a labyrinth of veils, both tangible and metaphorical, constantly obscuring and revealing the layers of the soul that construct depression as an ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the myriad images and elements \u2013 a skull, screeching crows, and the three mysterious figures \u2013 a kind of via dolorosa takes shape, by turns poetic, humorous, deep, multi-layered, imaginative, playful, and deranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
