About Hamlet Machine
On 13 March 2003 the première will take place of Hamlet Machine, as conceived by French artist Dominik Barbier, based on a text by the legendary German playwright Heiner Müller, who, until his death in 1995, was actively involved in this project. In his version of Müller’s legacy, Barbier brings together various art disciplines: visual art, electronic music, dance and theatre. Actors from Toneelgroep Amsterdam will collaborate in this production. This grandiose interdisciplinary performance will be presented, as a prelude to the World Wide Video Festival, on Thursday 13, Friday 14, Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March, 2003, in De Schuur a huge barn of 500m2 in Ruigoord, Amsterdam.
