Within the framework of this festival, on July 3, the Youth Theater of Uzbekistan will present an online premiere of the play "Hamlet's Dreams".

Hamlet in the play by Nina Mazur is viewed through the prism of an existential question - stuck in his own nightmare of choice. With this performance, the Youth Theater of Uzbekistan finds a response in the heart of every young man who is tormented by the question “To be like everyone else, or not to be like everyone else?”. This performance is a plunge into the noir, crazy, otherworldly dream of Hamlet, where the hero is not only the Prince of Denmark, but also the Hamlet of today.
