To be or not to be? Female characters in classical world literature rarely survive to the end of the play. We dedicate an evening of ballads to Ophelia from the tragedy «Hamlet». We give her words, take her perspective, and where words are not enough, music takes over.


Many thanks to the extraordinarily friendly support of the Residenztheater's technical staff during the preparations.
Many thanks to Lia Noemi Bardehle and Fabian Gruber for permission to use the video material Eisbahn.
