Hamlet

Svend Gade, Heinz Schall / DEUZE, 1920

The Danish silent film diva Asta Nielsen produced this bold Hamlet adaptation and played the lead role herself. Nielsen offers an extraordinary interpretation of Shakespeare’s great classic; the heir to the throne is not a man but a woman. With live accompaniment on cello and bandoneon.
