Business Overview

Shakespeare's "One day, Hamlet's behavior goes awry, and the people around him struggle to find out the cause, but he hurts them in the process." is described from the perspective of Hamlet's surrounding characters. It was performed as a play that was associated with 'otherness' and 'hikikomori.'. The aim was to reconstruct the play to a running time of 100 minutes and to make Shakespeare's words live in the present without adding any new lines.
