DIE opheliaMASCHINE is a poetic nightmare, where in contrast to Heiner Müller’s text of „Die Hamletmaschine“ Ophelia is the centre of attention.
Ophelia as the victim. But what happens to her after she is determined through her surrounding. What is left of her?
A research about personal and social experiences and their traces left in the body and movement.

A collaboration with Tanztheater Homunculus Vienna
