Stuart Sherman's Hamlet (A Portrait)

Work:: Stuart Sherman's Hamlet (A Portrait) (S01945339752)

The culmination of a three-year project exploring the work of US performance artist Stuart Sherman (1945 -2001) a key figure in the downtown New York avant garde performance scene from the 1970's onwards. Central to the evening will be the first ever re-staging of Stuart Sherman's ensemble performance 'Hamlet': (A Portrait). "I...wanted to confront the split between avant garde theater and traditional theater, and thought one of the best ways to bring the debate to a head as it were, was to take a work like Hamlet and show what relevance my way of working would have." Stuart Sherman, 1985
