NOTE: The tour of Dada Masilo: HAMLET has been postponed to a later date to be determined.

In an inventive reimagining of Shakespeare’s revenge tragedy, Dada Masilo’s Hamlet transforms The Bard’s complex wordplay into a compelling work of dance theater. Masilo’s Hamlet takes place in South Africa, where royalty and retinue embark on a fraught journey where all is not as it appears. Imbued with dark humor, elegance, and intrigue, the production features live musical accompaniment which nods at the Elizabethean Era instrumentation of Shakespeare’s time. The powerhouse cast features Bessie Award-winner Albert Khoza as Gertrude, newcomer Aphiwe Dike as Hamlet, and Masilo herself as Ophelia.
