Teatro La Plaza

Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza’s unique reinvention of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet is performed by a remarkable community of actors all with Down syndrome.

Here they take centre stage weaving original text with stories from their own lives in a mesmerising blend of drama, comedy and rap. 

Inspired by the famous monologue, ‘To be or not to be’, explored from the viewpoint of people who have historically been excluded by society. What does it mean ‘to be’ in a world where efficiency, production capacity and unattainable models of consumption and beauty are expected?
