The flamenco ballet “Hamlet”, inspired by William Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
More than thirty artists take the stage — world-class dancers, a live orchestra, and a choir — creating the vibrant heartbeat of the performance. Directed by the acclaimed Spanish choreographer Jesús Herrera, the production blends the philosophical depth of Shakespeare with the primal energy of flamenco, turning a story of love, betrayal, and madness into a hypnotic theatrical experience.
This is not merely an adaptation, but a new interpretation of Hamlet, where movement replaces words and every gesture reflects the eternal human conflict between reason and passion. The music, inspired by Mussorgsky and enriched by the powerful voices of the Orfeón Donostiarra choir, merges with flamenco singing to create a rare artistic synthesis — a collision of classical and contemporary worlds, of light and shadow, silence and rhythm.
Jesús Herrera transforms the timeless tragedy into an emotional journey through Hamlet’s inner depths — from pain and doubt to rage and catharsis. The Prince of Denmark becomes a symbol of modern humanity, torn between duty, love, and the search for truth.
“Hamlet is the mirror of the human soul, and flamenco is its cry,” says the choreographer.
The premiere of “Hamlet. Flamenco Ballet” will be one of the most anticipated cultural events of 2026 in Dubai, offering audiences a powerful and unforgettable experience where Shakespeare’s drama is reborn in the rhythm of fire.
