From 20th to 23rd November, the Théâtre des Muses will present a bold and emotionally charged new interpretation of Hamlet, adapted and directed by Christophe Luthringer. This powerful production brings Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy into the present day — and into the bedroom of a 19-year-old navigating grief, rage, and isolation.

Far from a traditional staging, this adaptation centres around Hamm, a young man confined to his room following the death of his father. In this inventive and immersive setting, everyday objects become props for his inner drama: a guitar, a punching bag, puppets, and repurposed furniture all help him process betrayal, loss and the overwhelming weight of expectation.

Celebrated by critics for its raw energy and originality, the production stars Victor Duez in a standout solo performance that has drawn acclaim across France. Le Parisien called it “a modern and musical Hamlet, splendid in its fury”, while Vaucluse Matin praised it as “total theatre”.

A new way in for young audiences

Recommended for audiences aged 12 and over, Hamlet at Théâtre des Muses offers a fresh point of entry into Shakespeare’s iconic work — one that speaks to younger generations through emotion, music and visual storytelling.

Anthéa Sogno, who presents the production, describes it as “a deeply inventive and sensitive approach that captures the imaginative world of adolescence”. The result is a Hamlet that feels both universal and intensely personal.
