Hamletmachine
Summary: English translation of Heiner Mueller's mind-bending The
Hamletmachine. Mueller's single most famous work, the power-packed, incandescent
core of the Euroleft, which anticipated the export-platform resistances of the
Eurostate thirty years before the reality. Don't be fooled by the brevity of
the play: every single word, sentence and turn of phrase is loaded with
explosive connotations, references, double and triple entendres, criss-crossing
like the lines on a city map or the circuits of a chip. Performances of this play
would last for hours; Mueller would use music, sound, images, projections,
and anything else handy to fill in the spaces created by the text. Footnotes have been
added to explain some of the more obscure points.
