Hamlet, princesa de Dinamarca is my bilingual adaptation of Shakespeare's classic.

Hamlet is a character in deep grief who, like me, lives in a country at war. He is simply another orphan who has been forced to carry his grief in silence and solitude. He is a person who has not received, in the language or actions from others, the recognition or validation of what he is experiencing. "Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,/ Passing through nature to eternity," says his mother in Act I. How to mourn in a country at war? How to experience grief in a world that has naturalized violence, in which the dead are just another number? In a world in which the dead are disposable tokens in a game for power? For me, these are the great challenges that Hamlet must face and that I have had to face myself. Hamlet lives an encysted grief that festers, erupting in desperate, intimate, solitary, long and complex conversations, conversations with an invisible character, the audience, who will help Hamlet to find the denied language of mourning via their silent recognition of the communal grief.
