Six Scenes for Scene Six of Heiner Muller’s Hamletmachine
An inquiry into Heiner Muller’s groundbreaking work of post-dramatic theater Hamletmachine. This show presents six unique scenes to a group of viewers in order that they may help determine what the proper sixth scene should be. These scenes include but are not limited to: Scene One of Hamletmachine, Grotowski's CATS, Taxidermied Animals. The scenes move from the alienating to the immersive as the audience is invited to engage with the theatrical frame which slowly dissolves around them, ending in a birthday party which overflows from the theater. Performed at The Elysian Theater in Los Angeles, CA in 2023.
Hamletmachine
This devised adaptation of Heiner Müller's ‘Hamletmachine’ explores social change and our individual roles within it. The piece aims to bring audience members to an active experience of the concepts discussed in Müller's text while leaving the need for cognitive understanding behind. Our ‘Hamletmachine’ exposes audience members to a series of engaging non-narrative stagings in a randomized sequence creating truly unique engagements each evening.
