The events of the play stem from the story of “Hamlet”, the famous and inspiring Shakespearean character in literature and theater. But she doesn’t literally recount it, and she doesn’t just quote it, but turns it upside down! And between the boundaries of the original text of Shakespeare and the orbits of creation and renewal, “Hamlet Upside Down” writes a new story that monitors the reality of man in the modern era. The show seeks to dissect the relationship between the West and the Arabs and the extent of the Western world’s sincerity in claiming respect for democracy, freedom and pluralism. On a stage revolting with questions and haunted by confusion, the play discusses the possible and the impossible, the truth and slogans, the existing and the desired.
