This horror story from the crime chronicle is told as a slapstick comedy based on the body language, communication with the audience and specific music which shapes the action, introducing a measure of irrationality and feeling that "anything is possible". Ana Tomovic: "Slapstick comedy as a theatre genre has been on my mind for quite some time because it seems to me that it offers great freedom on the stage... Thinking about the content, it occurred to me to deconstruct a myth, and that is Hamlet, and to see what this myth looks like when fitted into the framework of a slapstick comedy with a problem resulting from our reality..."
