Description

Hamlet's psychedelic journey through William Burroughs' Interzone.
Shakespeare, the Beat Generation, psychoanalysis, and techno-capitalism converge in a psychedelic drama, where identity, desire, guilt, and freedom clash with the chaos of our times. A journey, a mental exploration, a drift through an impossible place: the Interzone. A borderless limbo, a creature of William Burroughs’s visionary chaos, where time unravels and spaces contort under the weight of unspoken impulses. Hamlet is a traveler, a nomad of thought, a restless spirit seeking answers in a world where logic has collapsed. His torments merge with the pulse of an era marked by disintegration—a mental theater, a map of inner conflicts between desire and guilt, power and disillusionment. In the Interzone, Hamlet confronts Gertrude, Ophelia, Claudius, Lacan, and Burroughs himself—a demiurgic figure and guide who challenges him to rewrite his own destiny through Lacanian realizations and a ritual murder. A performance in Italian with French subtitles.
