In 1979, deep in the Cold War, Hamlet – in Heiner Müller’s equally radical and epochal Shakespeare-paraphrase Hamletmaschine – is at a crossroads between the systems, worn down by ossified ideologies, numbed by brutality and banality. In 2022, more than 40 years later, Ophelia takes his place. In Magda Romanska’s post-dramatic response to Müller, she attempts to take over the narrative as the author of her own fragmented story: A lover and a madwoman on the debris of Western values and goods. Opheliamaschine, directed by Lithuanian director Uršulė Barto, is the first work in the series WORX.

Up to two tickets may be reserved per performance and the seating is open at all pay-what-you-want-performances of WORX.
