At least I LEFT A BEAUTIFUL CORPSE at Grand Theatre of the City of Luxembourg

ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL STORY OF "HAMLET" by William Shakespeare
PROJECT VINCENT Macaigne

Macaigne Vincent is a director who grabs the viewer! For him, the theater crying. Cry of anger, love or destruction. It is at once intimate, collective and generational. In this theater called excessive, the extravagant and dazzling, players, pictures, light and sound are working to bring out the myth and the poetic violence of the real and the everyday.

For Vincent Macaigne there was initially Dostoyevsky. Idiot was an absolutely personal and radical reading of the great novel of the great Russian author. How to adapt the unadaptable? We had to provide an equivalent stage, a formal images without compromise, only able to restore the essence of the work, its formal notice of the time, his questioning today, perennial relevance.

Now it is Shakespeare, and Hamlet, but with the title: At least I left a beautiful corpse. Hamlet and the Danish fairy tale that inspired Shakespeare served as a starting point. But Vincent Macaigne would not stick to the text of Shakespeare, and he wanted to reveal the contradictory powers. Hamlet is a call for anger, denial of how the generation of the young man is resigned to accepting a call to future generations, a sacrifice for the future. Everything was tested on the set, enimprovisations so gross, with other texts, those of Vincent Macaigne, its actors, Seneca, Nietzsche, with extracts from newspapers. And all this was not rooted in a real distant, misty, but in reality the most immediate, the most concrete. It is about "a dirty theater and without politeness," that is not an instrument of thought or speech, but that remains unlike any intelligence to reveal the naivety, the absurd and the poetry of his situation.

"This is the show that was expected at the Avignon Festival: one just break everything at risk than some of the spectators, and inspire others. Under a great way, at least I left a beautiful corpse, he revisits Hamlet, William Shakespeare, and gives the cloister of the Carmelites, where the public forefront is protected by a plastic sheet jets of hemoglobin, mud and projectiles of all sorts that punctuate the four hours of a representation trash, and exciting foutraque signed Macaigne Vincent, a newcomer to Avignon. [...] This is not a born provocateur that addresses Hamlet. But it's a young man angry, for reasons he keeps secret and other it expresses. At least I go through all left a beautiful corpse, which was built as the previous shows Macaigne: working on the set with his band of actors friends. [...] Everything is there: At least I left a beautiful corpse continues to traverse the field of an idea: how to dry up the innocent, whether that of Claudius, Hamlet or Ophelia. Well, it dries up in the blood and tears, taking in the show the exaggerated form of provocation. Basically, Vincent Macaigne does not rewrite Hamlet. This dialogue with the piece, he brought out what she has in the gut, from his point of view today. The World

"Macaigne tu Prince of Denmark and the other (Claudius in particular, he considers not as a usurper, but as a modern wants to end the old moons) as old friends lost sight of the friend with whom bastards it has some old scores to settle. [...] ... This show trying to view. His concern is not to be perfect, but alive, so disturbing. And when we look, there are, or are Uygur. Macaigne still makes up more or less by the balls: his "Hamlet," the corpse of "Hamlet" is about sex but first can, as always in his shows. [...] ... A performance miraculous in the sense that it continues to do with it undone, to assert themselves by denying, to achieve beauty through dejection in a kind of quest for both love, desperate and returned everything except the essentials, making theater. [...] ... A kind of monstrous romance not unlike the atmosphere of certain scenes films of Leos Carax. [...] "To be or not to be" the most famous replica of the most famous play in the world is, it seems, zapped (it screams so we do not understand at all). But basically, at least I left a beautiful corpse only talking about that. Rue89

"With at least I left a beautiful corpse, director Vincent Macaigne converse with Shakespeare and invents a hamlet of modern times. It's bloody hot, desperate, but what it is! [...] There's Hamlet there. But a hamlet trash and romantic, impulsive and not two as irrespectuex. Humanity
