British cult band Tiger Lillies will join forces with Theatre Republique of Denmark to present The Tiger Lillies Perform Hamlet, a musical version of the Shakespearean tragedy, in September.
They will turn the play into an explosion of music and images to tell the gruesome tale of young man Hamlet, who seeks revenge for his father's murder.
Formed in 1989, the Tiger Lillies are regarded as one of the most original, provocative and genre-defying bands of the modern era. The band was an Olivier Awards winner in 2002 and a Grammy nominee in 2003.
Founded in 2009, Theatre Republique is dedicated to creating contemporary adaptations of theatre classics with an emphasis on a multimedia experience to challenge the limitations of conventional theatrical concepts.
Presented by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, The Tiger Lillies Perform Hamlet will be performed in English, with Chinese and English subtitles, at 8pm on September 9 and 10 and at 3pm on September 11 at Kwai Tsing Theatre.
Tickets are available at URBTIX.
