Amlet

By Jan-Franns Gasyon

Following his successful adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello (Otelo - 2003), Jean-Frantz Gation tackles the inexhaustible subtleties of Hamlet (Aml t: Trajedi youn nonm ki pa ka deside-l). The tragedy that took place centuries ago, relating the predicament of the unfortunate hero grappling with an exceptional destiny, unfolds as dreadfully in the Caribbean island of present-day Haiti as it did in the dark ages of Denmark. This is Aml t's world as he prepares, like any progeny of any well-to-do Haitian family, to enjoy his youth. But when the ghost of his father summons him to avenge his murder, Aml t finds himself torn between duty and scruples. The ensuing decision will either define or destroy him. Aml t: Trajedi youn nonm ki pa ka deside-l is a down-to-earth portrayal of revenge and deception, overflowing with the hard facts of Haitian life: corruption, lies, and injustice. Intensely realistic. Full of twists and turns. An authentic portrayal of Haitian society with its superstitions, beliefs, and cultural conflicts. Aml t: Trajedi youn nonm ki pa ka deside-l keeps readers turning pages.
