  • Introduction: Shakespeare in Cross-Cultural Spaces
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 15 (30), 2016; DOI: 10.1515/mstap-2017-0001 Robert Sawyer and Varsha Panjwani Introduction: Shakespeare in Cross-Cultural Spaces The seeds for this volume were planted in the fertile soil of Guimarães, Portugal, during a colloquium organized by Francesca Rayner and the Centre for Humanistic Studies of the Universidade do Minho in October 2015, where scholars presented papers on the subject of “Shakespearean Collaborations.” Two themes emerged across many of the papers: the intercultural negotiation through Shakespeare and the consideration of spatial studies of Shakespeare. These ideas, germinated in Portugal, were then cross-pollinated with similar topics by other multinational Shakespearean scholars for this special issue on “Shakespeare in Cross-Cultural Spaces.” As we worked on this issue through 2016, the significance of discussing our first theme of cross-cultural relations became increasingly urgent. While, on the one hand, the world was marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, on the other hand, political and cultural borders were being re-imagined and re-made: the United Kingdom voted to exit from the European Union, the mass-migration of refugees from war-torn countries such as Iraq, Syria and Libya continued to increase, and the U.S. president, Donald Trump, threatened to build a wall across the Mexican border during his campaign. It seemed that the currents of Shakespeare studies and performance, which were celebrating diversity and interculturalism as witnessed by publications such as Shakespeare, Race and Performance: The Diverse Bard (2016) and productions such as Royal Shakespeare Company’s Hamlet with the Black actor, Paapa Essiedu, in the lead role (both reviewed in this issue), were moving in the opposite direction to these international events.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE Latinerkvarteret Stylish Latinerkvarteret, or the Latin Quarter, is known for charming, colorful buildings on Mejlgade street, including the 17th- century Juul’s House. Buzzing Pustervig Square is home to global eateries and hip cafes serving traditional smørrebrød open- faced sandwiches. Cultural venues include East of Eden, a tiny cinema showing foreign and indie films, and the Women’s Museum, telling 150 years of women’s stories. The neighborhood dates back to the 1200’s, with the founding of a Latin school (hence the name), and later, the University of Copenhagen was created here in the 1400’s, lending an air of intellectual vibrancy to the narrow streets lined with medieval buildings. And while it’s an ideal place for visitors to base themselves during a visit to the Denmark’s largest city, it’s also convenient. From here, some of the best drinking, eating and sites in the city are all about a ten-minute walk away, in neighborhoods like Vesterbro and Indre By (the city center).

  • Whose Castle Is It Anyway? : Local/Global Negotiations of a Shakespearean Location
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 15 (30), 2017; DOI: 10.1515/mstap-2017-0009 ∗ Anne Sophie Refskou Whose Castle is it Anyway? : Local/Global Negotiations of a Shakespearean Location Abstract: Kronborg Castle in the Danish town of Elsinore is a location strongly associated with Shakespeare thanks to the setting of Hamlet. It is a place where fiction currently eclipses history, at least in the context of a cultural tourist industry where Shakespeare’s name is worth a great deal more than Danish national heritage sites. Indeed, Kronborg is now widely marketed as ‘Hamlet’s Castle’ and the town of Elsinore has acquired the suffix ‘Home of Hamlet’. This article examines the signifiers implied in the naming and renaming of Kronborg as a Shakespearean location, while also looking at its unique international Shakespearean performance tradition, which spans two centuries. It describes how the identity of the castle has been shaped by its Shakespearean connection against the backdrop of changing ideologies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and poses questions as to how this identity may continue to develop within the current contexts of renewed nationalism in Europe and the world. Keywords: Hamlet, Elsinore, Kronborg, globalization, nationalism, borders, inter- culturalism. Something have you heard of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark’s transformations and of the manifold interpretations which have confused us and confuse us still. Is he a Dane? A countryman of yours?1 Kronborg Castle in Elsinore has acquired most—if not all—of its international fame thanks to Shakespeare. Every year tourists flock to the small port town on the east coast of Denmark to see the rather magnificent fortified castle associated with Hamlet.

  • Kronborg Castle
    Kronborg Castle Kronborg Castle is situated near the town of Elsinore (Danish Helsingør) on the extreme tip of Zealand at the narrowest point of the Oresund (Danish Øresund), the sound between Denmark and Sweden. In this part, the sound is only four kilometres wide, hence the strategic importance of maintaining a fortress at this location. The castle has for centuries been one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe and was added to UNESCO's World Heritage Sites list on November 30, 2000. The castle's story dates back to a fortress, Krogen, built in the 1420s by the Danish king, Eric of Pomerania. The king insisted on the payment of sound dues by all ships wishing to enter or leave the Baltic; to help enforce his demands, he built a powerful fortress controlling the sound. It then consisted of a number of buildings inside a surrounding wall. Kronborg acquired its current name in 1585 when it was rebuilt by King Frederick II into a magnificent renaissance castle unique in its appearance and size throughout Europe. In 1629, a moment's carelessness by two workmen caused much of the castle to go up in flames. Only the Chapel was spared by the strength of its arches. King Christian IV put great efforts into restoring the castle and by 1639 the exterior was magnificent once again but the interior never fully regained its former glory. The Swedish conquest of Kronborg in 1658, by Wrangel, demonstrated that the castle was far from impregnable. Afterwards, the defences were strengthened significantly. From 1688-90, an advanced line of defence was added called the Crownwork.

  • Search:Hamlet
    Search:Hamlet - a dance-theatre event, a free interpretation of Shakespeare’s play By Ong Keng Sen Of late, I have become used to working on projects which span three to five years in conception and fruition, so Search:Hamlet has been a surprise. My first meeting with HC Gimbel was for three days in June 2001 and it has been an express train to Kronborg August 2002. June 2001, Singapore I remember my reticence on doing another Shakespeare as I have never professed a special love for him. And the several times I have seen Hamlet, I have never felt specially drawn to him. I was always more drawn to peripheral questions such as the culpability of Gertrude, the redemption of Claudius, “Is Laertes a loser?” Perhaps I have been dissatisfied with the Ghost, perhaps I always compared him to the unfulfilled ghosts of Japanese Noh plays and wished for more longing, more evocation; a more holistic vision of life and death. So I gave a long list of requests to HC including that I would only consider doing a Hamlet project if we could perform a site-specific version at Kronborg, in its different rooms. I wanted to rethink Hamlet in a way that would include different peoples, that would open up his conflicts into a universal realm, into the everyday conflicts which could have a resonance for individuals all over the world today. Locating it at Kronborg would raise all sorts of cultural issues such as cultural authenticity and possession. Does Kronborg belong to Denmark or to the world? Who has the right to perform in a country’s cultural monuments? Who owns Hamlet? What is Asian, what is European, what is Danish? Is this globalisation? Should globalisation develop specificities to take into account different localities, different contexts, different individual circumstances? For I did not want to create an international work floating in the festival circuit.
