Don't miss this show before it closes! With a cast and creative team featuring alumni from Cirque du Soleil, the 7 Fingers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) and L'Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Montreal, New York Circus Project's rendition of Shakespeare's Hamlet uniquely blurs the lines between realism and internal monologue. This blend of circus and text changes the play's tempo, allowing for a visceral exploration of emotional conflict. Marvel at the transformation of Dock5—for the first time ever—into a 12,000-square-foot avant-garde performance space.
