A group of actors with Down syndrome take the stage to share their desires and frustrations through a reimagining of Hamlet. The play is built between Shakespeare’s text and the actors lives and takes as a starting point the question he asks us about existence. To be or not to be? What does it mean to be for people who can’t find spaces where they are not considered?
Historically, persons with Down syndrome have been considered a burden, a social waste.
What value and meaning do they have today in a world where efficiency, production capacity and unattainable models of consumption and beauty are the paradigm of the human being?
