About the show

«WordSwordSwords» turns Hamlet's «Words, words, words» into a metaphor for a weapon. It is a manifesto of a theatre where the word becomes a living energy capable of changing reality. At the center of the story is a «wandering troupe» of young people searching for themselves through Shakespeare's classics. An ordinary casting call gradually transforms into a deep immersion into tragedy. Bookish words suddenly prove to be dangerously truthful and personal for each performer.

We renounce stage sets and historical costumes in favor of the Word. Let us test if this is enough. Is the Word still capable of changing a human being today—and can the theatre remain a place of true empathy?
