October 18-19, the premiere of Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" will take place in the Transcarpathian Regional Ukrainian Music and Drama Theater. The performance is timed to the 100th anniversary of the famous Ukrainian actor and director Yaroslav Helyas, who was the first to play Hamlet on the Ukrainian stage and worked for many years in the Transcarpathian Drama Theater. The play is directed by his son Yaroslav, and Hamlet is played by his grandson Lyubomir Helyas.
The tragedy of William Shakespeare "Hamlet" staged by the Transcarpathian Regional Ukrainian Music and Drama Theater takes us from medieval Denmark to modern Ukraine. Hamlet, the young patriot of Ukraine, returns from the ATO because of the death of his oligarch father. Seeing the corruption that erodes the country, he fights it with the means, which he was used on the war – with weapons.
Also, the play shows the army of invaders led by Fortinbras-Putin, who wants to conquer new territory. At the end, when all the elite dies, Fortinbras, the Conqueror seizes power. This performance is a warning for Ukrainian society, that we should unite, and not fight each other, otherwise the occupant will win.
