Hamlet

Hamlet

“Hamlet” Ensemble









Lansdale’s successful - staging of “Hamlet”, as a modern dance piece, was premiered on Saturday night at the town’s theatre, was a celebration of powerful and expressive choreography, with a high measure of athletic movement. At the heart of this power struggle, are the elements of violence and destructiveness that transfers the ballet ensemble onto a stage converted into battle arena.
Less story line, more of a series of associated pictures.

Uta Jostwerner, Westfalen-Blatt


Lansdale’s “Hamlet”, is a ballet of stylized Jet-Set-Atmosphere of aristocratic steel, autumn browns and royal blues.
The breakneck tempo of the increasing audience numbers proves how much the public like it.
