Shakespeare’s masterpiece “Hamlet” is coming to the stage in a form beyond imagination.The musical “Voice of Hamlet: The Concert” (produced by Emotional Theater)is drawing the attention of a new generation of theater and musical fans as it opens on May 16 at the National Theater’s Sky Theater.

This work is a large-scale project that reinterprets the classic tragedy Hamlet as a one-person play in the form of an ‘industrial rock concert’ for the first time in the world.Four actors who break the gender mold, including Ok Joo-hyun, Shin Sung-rok, Min Woo-hyuk, and Kim Ryeo-won, each play Hamlet with a different style, filling the stage with the fresh concept of ‘Four People, Four Colors Hamlet’.

The Voice of Hamlet is notable for being more than a simple remake, but rather a collaboration between AI technology and human creators.From the early stages of the work, the script and music were planned based on AI’s emotional pattern analysis and code generation technology, and the delicate sensibilities of the creative team were added to complete it as a unique stage language.

The live performance, reminiscent of a concert hall, is also impressive.A real live band will participate, and music director Kim Sung-soo will rearrange various genres of music such as glam rock, electronic, and hard rock into an industrial rock style, presenting over 20 numbers.It is evaluated as presenting a new genre that crosses between musical and concert.

The stage direction was precisely integrated with video, lighting, and stage through pre-simulation using Emotional Theater’s own technology, Pre - Visualization system.LED panels that change every moment, dramatic lighting changes, and the highly focused composition where only one actor and the audience face each other create a dramatic sense of immersion.

It is also impressive that the character of Hamlet has expanded beyond the male-centered cast to gender-free casting.Depending on each actor’s interpretation, the music, tone of dialogue, and details of production are produced differently, providing an experience of seeing the same work on a completely different stage.

The Emotional Theater said, “ is a work that combines technology and emotion based on a deep respect for the classics, “and added,” It will be an opportunity for the audience to experience the familiar ‘Hamlet’ with a completely new sense.”

will be performed at the National Theater’s Sky Theater until June 28th, and tickets can be purchased on the National Theater website, Yes24, NOL Ticket, etc.
