About the Show
HAMLET FANSURI is a new translation and re-adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark in Malay by Ridhwan Saidi, with poetry of Hamzah Fansuri, the 16th century Sumatran Sufi poet, as its interscene mechanism. Hamlet Fansuri begins with a Malay translation and re-fragmentation of Heiner Müller’s Hamletmachine and Comte de Lautréamont’s Maldoror in a piece called OPHELIA MALDOROR as its ‘buka panggung’. This play also features an experiential soundscape performed by Kicau Bilau. Anticipate a dark nusantara, ambient site-specific recital.
