About iamhamlet ...
Picture this. A small room, a chair, a large grey sheet of glass. Above you, a light swings back and forth. When the light is on your side, all you see in the pane of glass is your own face, when it swings away you see on the other side a person facing you. They stare ahead looking into your eyes. Appearing and disappearing as your own face is overlaid on to theirs.
iamhamlet... A performance that is both a mirror and an immersion. An immersion into the self through one of the most famous characters in classical drama.
Warning: stronger lighting effects are used in this show.
