“After all, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy”, says Hamlet while reinventing his Theatrum Mundi of the third millennium. A theater of the magical irrevocable moments in time that are already the future, a cosmic timelessness where time and space merge. Whether hidden in a nutshell of solitude or exposed naked in an infinite landscape of melancholy and active electric thoughts, he creates images that we have never seen before. Quantum memories that balance this derailed world. The entire play is in his hands and he will bring it to a conclusion as a director and an actor at the same time, crossing the borders, breaking the rules in recognition and search of that which is lost in the gaps of time, trapped between a word and silence. And here, between night and dawn, he will find a secret point: the heart, active and warm, of pomegranate purple colour, hidden in a closed fist. Today Hamlet creates reality that is theater. In order to make room for the breath of air that brings the vision. Just to be able to see the tears in rain again.
The rest is, as we know, silence.
