Cet adaptateur d'Hamlet est-il fou ou fait-il seulement semblant de l'être ? En 2020, Imago des Framboisiers s'est lancé le défi de traduire et d'adapter le chef d'oeuvre de Shakespeare en alexandrins français. Au bout de quatre ans, il est parvenu à atteindre la dernière ligne.Être ou bien ne pas être, c'est toute la question.Supporter l'écorchure et la persécutionD'une fortune infâme, en quoi est-ce plus nobleQue de tirer l'épée contre le flot ignobleDes troubles de la vie pour l'achever enfin ? Mourir, dormir, c'est tout. Car ce sommeil met finAux peines infinies, aux milliers de douleursDont hérite la chair, ô ces dernières heures,On les doit désirer.

GREED, BETRAYAL, MADNESS King Lear, first performed around 1805, and thought to have been written between Othello and Macbeth, is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. It is a story of madness and flattery and the struggle for power but above all it is about human suffering, as we watch a monarch who is betrayed by his daughters and robbed of his kingdom descend into madness. It is one of the most relentlessly bleak of Shakespeare's tragedies. The story challenges us with the magnitude, the intensity, and the sheer duration of the pain that it represents. Lear's themes of ingratitude, injustice, and the meaninglessness of life are explored with unsurpassed power and depth. Greed, treachery, and cruelty are everywhere and the final act of the play is both brutal and heartbreaking. As we see old age portrayed in all its vulnerability, along with pride, and, perhaps, wisdom--it is only one reason that this most devastating of Shakespeare's tragedies is also perhaps his most moving. The play has been widely adapted for the stage and motion pictures, with the title role coveted by many of the world's most accomplished actors.
