Julia Rieder Directs TikTok-Inspired Hamlet Adaptation in Freiburg

In Freiburg, actress Julia Rieder, named performer of the year, made her directorial debut with a production of Shakespeare's Hamlet tailored for Generation Z. The adaptation draws inspiration from TikTok formats rather than traditional literary editions, and notably omits the central character of Hamlet from the narrative. The staging incorporates elements of trauma therapy, including scenes where actors hold hands.
