In the organizer's words:
Cinema Quadrat and Nationaltheater Mannheim in the "Film & Theater" series with films about current NTM productions: The silent film "Hamlet" from 1921 with live piano accompaniment: Asta Nielsen in the leading role!
HAMLET
DEU 1921. D: Svend Gade, Heinz Schall. D: Asta Nielsen, Eduard von Winterstein, Mathilde Brandt, Paul Conradi. 131 min. silent movie with live music FSK: 12
In order to secure the succession to the throne, the daughter is raised at the Danish court as the male prince Hamlet. While studying in Wittenberg, she/he receives the news that her/his father, the king, has died. Apparently he was murdered by his own brother.
Silent film star Asta Nielsen plays Hamlet, the Danish prince, so that in addition to themes such as power, murder and madness, it is also about gender identity. One of the greatest cinema successes of the early 1920s!
Holders of tickets for the "Hamlet" production at the Nationaltheater Mannheim (from 30.1.2026) receive reduced admission to the cinema; with a cinema ticket there is a 25% discount on theater admission.
