Hamlet's Childhood: Virgina Corless (Gertrude) Helen Lui (Young Hamlet)
and Aaron Moronez rehearse the choreography showing the happiness of Hamlet's
childhood.
Old Hamlet (Aaron Moronez) and Polonius (Max Goldman): Polonius curtseys
in obedience, and then displays a roll with the affairs to be taken care
of.
Dan Katz (Claudius) succeeds in seducing Gertrude (here, the director,
Janet Sonenberg), which is expressed in a very subtle movement.
Tableau
marking the end of Hamlet's childhood: Claudius and Gertrude are on one
side, and Old Hamlet is too busy with Polonius with state matters.
Old Hamlet and Claudius hold hands, in fraternal bond, right before Claudius
murders his own brother. Old Hamlet sleeps in the orchard.
