About the author

Hi! I'm Ernesto. I will bring you a visual perspective of the cool stuff happening here in Amsterdam. Enjoy!

During my internships as an audio-visual technician I came across a lot of different jobs. That diversity didn’t change a bit, freelancing around and taking every job that interests me. One job in particular, at the Noord Nederlands Toneel theatre group (NNT), strongly contributed to my cultural view and intrigued me to follow their pieces.

Creating pieces that involve blind people, prostitutes, kids, dogs, food, confetti and paint.

The NNT is one of the most creative theatre groups I know. Creating pieces that involve blind people, prostitutes, kids, dogs, food, confetti, paint, amazing stages and actors that really love to give everything that personal touch.

Now, the NNT is coming to Amsterdam to take the story of Shakespeare’s Hamlet to a whole new level. This version of Hamlet promises a lot of craziness in a wild interpretation by director Ola Mafelaani, who is truly the Quentin Tarantino of theatre. And she’ll definitely take you by surprise. As if this isn’t enough, you can be part of it by volunteering to sing the lines of this piece with the cast.
