Hamlet is a tour de force production not to be missed!
New York Circus Project (NYCP) brings theatrical classics to life with dynamic circus choreography, using acrobatics to convey visually striking narratives inspired by classic texts and stories.
With a cast and creative team featuring alumni from Cirque du Soleil, the 7 Fingers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) and L’Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Montreal, NYCP’s rendition of Shakespeare’s Hamlet uniquely blurs the lines between realism and internal monologue. This blend of circus and text changes the play’s tempo, allowing for a visceral exploration of emotional conflict.
“It is a valiant desire to take on such a well-known work and tell it again. The New York Circus Project’s daring and imaginative approach breathes new life into a timeless tale, proving that even the most familiar stories can surprise and delight us anew.” – The Artblog.
