Podcast appearances and mentions of william shakespeare hamlet

I det tjugotredje avsnittet av ”Har du inte läst den” är William Shakespeares tragedi ”Hamlet” anhalt för den botfärdiga bildningsresan. Hur är det ställt med grubblande, melankoliske och till handling oförmögna prinsen av Danmark och hans minst sagt komplicerade familjesituation? Och vem var hans mytomspunne upphovsperson, föremål för mången fantasifull biografi? Hedvig frågar sig om det egentligen är så himla konstigt att han inte skrev några kärleksdikter till sin hustru. Lydia har bett ChatGPT om hjälp med enklare sekreterartjänster och konstaterar att AI är lika påhittig som Shakespeares levnadstecknare. Ur led är tiden!   Litteratur:  Hamlet av William Shakespeare översättning av Carl August Hagberg översättning Ulf Peter Hallberg (i Det blodiga parlamentet: fyra tragedier) Hamlet: the Oxford Shakespeare Nämnt men ej läst: The private life of William Shakespeare av Lena Cowen Orlin Musik av Linus Lahti

Shakespeare rozhodne patrí medzi najznámejších autorov všetkých čias a niet sa čomu diviť. Vieš však, ako začína jedno z jeho najznámejších diel Hamlet? Či o čom vlastne tento príbeh je a kto to bol William Shakespeare? Aj to sa dozvieš v dnešnom podcaste.

Shakespeare rozhodne patrí medzi najznámejších autorov všetkých čias a niet sa čomu diviť. Vieš však, ako začína jedno z jeho najznámejších diel Hamlet? Či o čom vlastne tento príbeh je a kto to bol William Shakespeare? Aj to sa dozvieš v dnešnom podcaste. „Byť a či nebyť, to je otázka: je dôstojnejšie iba mlčky znášať tie šípy zákerného osudu, či proti moru podlostí vziať zbraň – a rozseknúť ho vzburou? Umrieť, spať, a už viac nebyť...“ Tak začína jeden z najslávnejších monológov Shakespearovej hry Hamlet, hry o pomste, svedomí, šialenstve a cti. Dnes sa pristavíme pri smútiacom dánskom princovi.

Publicado originalmente em 30 de setembro de 2020 Arte da capa: Selma Bosch O Setembro Amarelo já passou, mas não é por causa disso que não falaremos de um assunto de suma importância: Suicídio. Pois é, a cada ano, cerca de 800 mil pessoas tiram a própria vida e um número ainda maior de indivíduos tenta suicídio. Cada suicídio é uma tragédia que afeta famílias, comunidades e países inteiros e tem efeitos duradouros sobre as pessoas deixadas para trás. Independente da raça, classe social, nacionalidade ou opção religiosa, o suicídio é uma realidade que afeta a todos e um gravíssimo problema de saúde pública. Por se tratar de um assunto tão relevante nós, do ESTÚDO CODICILO, resolvemos fazer um podcast sobre o tema. Para isso, convocamos para nos ajudar nesta complicada missão Kerlei Zanga, teóloga feminista, conselheira especialista nas áreas de enfrentamento a violência doméstica, empoderamento feminino, desenvolvimento humano e qualidade de vida. E também Priscila Imperial, Psicóloga Clínica formada pela Universidade Mackenzie, Supervisora Clínica, Acolhedora da Dor existencial, além de ministrar cursos e palestras sobre o tema suicídio e fazer parte do projeto “Sounds of Hope”, que promove reflexões sobre o impacto dos avanços tecnológicos na saúde da população. E mais, no início temos uma leitura dramática do magistral ator Rodrigo Caesar, que interpreta a Cena I do Ato III do espetáculo de William Shakespeare “Hamlet”, onde o personagem principal reflete sobre a possibilidade de tirar sua própria vida. E, como sempre, trazemos uma trilha musica somente com músicas que se relacionam se tema para você. AVISO: O PODCAST PODE TER UM CONTEÚDO PERTUBADOR PARA PESSOAS SENSÍVEIS. OUÇA COM CUIDADO.

En este programa, hablamos de la obra inmortal de William Shakespeare: "Hamlet"; un personaje que supera a su propia ficción e inventa una nueva conciencia para el hombre moderno Decía Harold Bloom, nuestro amado crítico literario, que Hamlet, junto con Falstaff, eran la invención de lo humano. Pablo Yupton y Gabriel Moreno van a debatir sobre si esta afirmación de Harold Bloom es una exageración o si, por el contrario, realmente Shakespeare es el inventor de lo humano, o al menos de una gran parte de su manera de sentir y pensarse. Comentamos los orígenes de la obra y las circunstancias que envolvieron el momento en que fue concebida. Hablaremos de su trama y personajes, tratando de vislumbrar la psicología que se esconde tras cada acontecimiento importante de la obra, en los que cada uno de nosotros podemos vernos reflejados de alguna manera. Escuchar o no escuchar, esa es la cuestión. Si es esta la duda que te asalta, como tantas que asaltaron a Hamlet, dale al play y juntos aprenderemos todo lo que podamos acerca del príncipe Danés.

“For in that sleep of death what dreams may come / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, / Must give us pause.” – William Shakespeare Hamlet

A laikus könnyen azt gondolhatja, hogy az USA elnökének megalomániája a K2 csúcsára ért: vételi ajánlatot tett Grönlandra. A Zöld Földre, Föld legnagyobb szigetére, a világ negyedik legnagyobb közigazgatási egységére, Dánia egy részére - ahogyan a helyiek nevezik, Kalaallit Nunaat, azaz "Emberek országa". Ám a világpolitika ingatlan adás-vételi gyakorlata mást mutat? Korántsem az ingatlan mágnás Donald Trump az első, aki üzletet lát egy másik nemzet szigetében? Németh Miklós, az Európai Ingatlan Tanács volt alelnöke segített szakértő módon eligazodni nekünk ebben a témában. Segítségével új megvilágításba került ez a különösen hangzó hír (Donald Trumd versus Grönland) a nemzetek egymást között nem egyszer kötöttek már hasonló megállapodásokat. Sőt, maga Truman elnök is tett egyszer adásvételi ajánlatot ép Grönland szigetére, évtizedekkel ezelőtt. " Több dolgok vannak földön és égen, Horatio, mintsem bölcselmetek azt álmodni képes..."

Arguably Shakespeare's finest and most important play, Hamlet is also one of the most misunderstood masterpieces of world literature. "To be or not to be", may be the question, but the answer has eluded many generations of critics. What does it mean "to be"? And is everything as it seems to be?

This review contains mature content and language and pretty major spoilers about the show. Straight up, Anti-Hamlet was one of the best productions I have seen this year. It was absolutely trilling, and so engaging it left me exhausted and unable to get up from my seat, which is always a very special experience that I’ve only felt twice before I loved it so much that I was it two times in it’s opening weekend, but not only because I loved it, but because it was so complex and intelligent I think I had to see it twice to get a stronger grasp of what it all meant, the first time seeing it was like being a twig thrown into a whirl wind, and coming out the other side with flowers growing all over me, but not knowing how they got there. The second time I saw it, I was able to process the content of the work with a deeper sense of comprehension, which was very rewarding. That being said, you don’t have to see Mark Wilson’s phenomenal work twice to fully appreciate it as a production. Nor do you have to have a deep understand of William Shakespeare Hamlet, I came to the show not knowing much about Hamlet. My friend I went with gave me a quick recap of story before we were ushered into the theatre. I think knowing Hamlet would be very helpful but not essential, I think having a small knowledge of it would be fine. Mark and his perfectly picked collaborators took Hamlet, gave it a good shake, tipping out all the language, and political context of the late 1500s, and replaced it with a magnificently crafted contemporary script, filled with references to currently Australian and world politics. They kept much of the structure of the original Hamlet, but set it in modern Australia, they still called the location they were in Denmark, like in the original Hamlet, but it was very clear that it was a substitute for Australia, I suppose to make it less on the nose. In this plays reality, Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, a referendum is going to take place, and if passed make it a republic, making Claudius played by Marco Chaippi, the current Prime Minister, the President of Denmark. Claudius seemed to be an amalgamation of Liberal Party leaders. Gertrude was still the Queen and Hamlets mother, played very luxuriously by Natasha Herbert. Hamlet was still the prince, played by Mark Wilson, re-worked to be a Melbourne academic off-the-rails-student-prince, turned anarchist. Ophelia, played by Natascha Flowers was reworked to be a clear headed Rhodes Scholar graduate of Oxford, that works for Claudius in hope to insight social change around the treatment of Asylum Seekers. Horatio, Hamlets friend in the original play played by Marcus McKenzie was still used by name in the play, but he’s character is less of a friend to Hamlet and more of a re-occurring character that helps or interacts with Hamlet, such as a busker Hamlet gives a $5 note to, and a stage manager or Hamlets one man show, Marcus, also plays ‘The Anti-Hamlet”. Two more characters were worked into the show, who replaced characters of the original text. Polonius reworked as Sigmund Freud, played magnificently by Brain Lipson and Laertes reworked as Edward Bernays, played astoundingly by Charles Purcell. Sigmund Freud was played as himself, but as a psychoanalyst for the characters in the play. If I had to choose Edward Bernays was my favorite character, he was a manipulative, powerful 1950’s talkin’ American man who helps Claudius become the president of Denmark. Like Freud, Bernays was a real historical figure, who basically invented propaganda, and is a very interesting man, look him up. The ensemble of performers were shockingly good, and just perfectly cast. All the performers had crafted their characters in such an astonishing way, with real depth and meaning. The set and costume design by Romanie Harper was elaborate, clean and beautiful, the stage was framed with scaffolding with a lusous red curtain around the perimeter. The costumes for each character matched very well, especially Gertrude, who I think, had a different luxurious gown on in every scene. Amelia Lever Davidsons lighting design beautifully complimented the set, costumes and performances. She created electric atmosphere with her wonderful design. The sound design by Tom Backhaus was crafted nicely to fit into the show. It worked to the advantage of the dialogue heavy script, and intense aesthetic of the production. The story Mark created in his new adaption Anti-Hamlet was so complex and intellectual; I really don’t think I could do justice recounting it. It was beautifully nuanced and at times meta. It had a perfect balance of comedy and seriousness. Something I really admired about this production was how far the cast and creative team pushed the boundaries. One of the stand out moments in this production was the final scene of the first act, where after being told by Freud that all of Hamlets troubles would be solved if Hamlet had sex with her, Gertrude takes Hamlet into her ‘closet’ and invites him to fuck her. Hamlet succumbs and tries to but can’t get an erection, he tries to masturbate, but can’t. At this point we hear Freud behind the curtain masturbating, Hamlet is filled with rage and naked, runs to Freud, pushes him behind the couch and kills him, covered in blood he screams “I have killed Sigmund Freud!” while holding up his decapitated head wrapped in an Australian flag and then the curtain closes in front of them, I was left dazed and unable to speak. There is multiple other moment in the play that had this effect on me. The commitment and bravery shown in this play and in this scene in particular are what I love about seeing and making theatre, seeing artists be brave and uncensored in their words and actions is inspiring and beautiful. Anti-Hamlet presented by Theatre Works and New Working Group is confronting, political, breath taking and thought provoking, New Working Group are shaping up to be one of my favorite theatre groups, the bravery and talent of these artists is incredible and extremely inspiring, particularly for a young theatre maker like myself. Do your self a favor and go see this show, and it runs about 2 and a half hours with intermission, so make sure your well fed before hand. It is now showing at Theatre Works in St Kilda until November 13th Written by Ebony Beaton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
