Il était une fois Hamlet et Ophélie à Shanghai
Il était une fois Hamlet et Ophélie à Shanghai 
Once upon a time in Shanghai, Hamlet and Ophelia

Film screening in French with English subtitles
Followed by a Q&A session with the theatre director Daniel Mesguich and the film director Ellénore Loehr.

This documentary tells the story of theatre director Daniel Mesguich’s slightly crazy idea: put on his favourite play, Hamlet, in Chinese, with young actors from Mongolia at Shanghai Theatre Academy, and all this within a month. Ellénore Loehr followed him and filmed this extraordinary adventure of sharing and creation until the day before the first show.
