2026-05-09Japanese

Directed by master David Leveau and starring Somegoro Ichikawa! The beginning of a legend where unprecedented energy and aesthetics intersect! Don't miss the shocking ending featuring Ami Toma, Ken Ishiguro, Kamitsu Yuzu, Zen Kajiwara, and more. Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies and is a timeless masterpiece that deeply depicts human suffering. This work, in which conflict, madness, and betrayal are intricately intertwined and condensed with universal themes that deeply pierce the hearts of viewers, will be breathed new life into this work by the talented young Somegoro Ichikawa, who will lead the Kabuki world in a new era, and David Leveau, a world-renowned director who pursues realism and delicately expresses the themes of his works. Somegoro plays Hamlet, a young prince who is troubled by his father's death and his mother's remarriage. This is the role that his grandfather, Hakuharu Matsumoto, and father, Koshiro Matsumoto, have also played, and this is his first straight play appearance and first leading role. A cast of actors from different generations and fields will be co-starring, including Ami Toma, who will be playing the role of Ophelia for the first time on stage, Ken Ishiguro as Claudius, Kamitsu Yuzu as Gertrude, and Zen Kajiwara as Polonius. Revenge, life and death, love - don't miss out on ``Hamlet,'' which brings Shakespeare's world to life in vivid colors.
