Fat Ham

Una festiva parrillada sureña establece el escenario para un auto descubrimiento queer, de negritud sobre sí mismo y de resiliencia, en esta obra ganadora del Premio Pulitzer y nominada a cinco premios Tony; una “divertidísima reinvención de Hamlet” (The New Yorker).

“Esto es con lo que me crié: tripas de cerdo y malas decisiones.” Mientras Juicy lidia con su identidad y su familia en una parrillada en el patio trasero, el fantasma de su padre aparece pidiendo venganza contra el tío de Juicy, que se ha casado con su madre viuda, deteniendo así en seco su búsqueda de liberación y alegría. James Ijames ha reinventado la obra maestra de Shakespeare, creando lo que el New York Times califica como “una tragedia hilarante pero profunda, envuelta en comedia”, donde la única muerte es la del patriarcado. Tyrone Phillips, director artístico fundador del famoso Definition Theatre de Chicago, dirige.

A boisterous Southern cookout sets the scene for a Black, queer discovery of self and resilience in this Pulitzer Prize-winning, five-time Tony nominated “uproarious reimagining of Hamlet” (The New Yorker).

“This is what I was raised in: pig guts and bad choices.” As Juicy grapples with his identity and his family at a backyard barbecue, his father’s ghost shows up asking for revenge—on Juicy’s uncle, who has married his widowed mom—bringing his quest for joy and liberation to a screeching halt. James Ijames has reinvented Shakespeare’s masterpiece, creating what the New York Times hails as “a hilarious yet profound tragedy, smothered in comedy,” where the only death is the patriarchy. Tyrone Phillips, Founding Artistic Director of Chicago’s famed Definition Theatre, directs.
