Vegetarian Ofelia-Spain-02nd September

02nd September
”Vegetarian Ofelia” Spain
Directed by Carlota Berzal

Ofelia Vegetariana(Vegetarian Ofelia) takesthe female character ofHamlet (presented by Shakespeare as an innocent and submissive woman) reinterpreting her from the present: Ofelia is a broken princess, dead in life.

Fragments her body in constant trance, allowing the monster that also inhabits her to emerge. Also, the character is immersed in the past, losing herself in a present limbo. She is Ofelia and all the women who precede her, with the root that inhabits that body. In this proposal, she rescues her ancestors: the gypsy, the muslim, the carnivorous. It´s in this sense that meat is recovered (a constant element in the work of the english playwright) and transposed to vegetarianism as conflict and anxiety in today´s Ofelia.
