A journey, but also a mental exploration and a drift through an impossible place: Interzone. A borderless limbo, born from the visionary chaos of William Burroughs, where time disarticulates and spaces contort under the weight of unspoken impulses. Hamlet is a traveler. He is no longer the Danish prince consumed by indecision, but a nomad of thought, a restless spirit seeking answers in a world where logic has collapsed. Here, among the poisonous alleys of Interzone, his torments merge with the organic pulse of an era that tastes of decay—a stage of the mind, a map of those inner conflicts between desire and guilt, power and disillusionment. In Interzone, Hamlet confronts Gertrude, Ophelia, Claudius, Lacan—with whom he opens sharp reflections on Desire—and Burroughs himself, a demiurgic figure and guide, who challenges him to rewrite his own destiny through Lacanian awareness and a ritual murder. It is a dizzying immersion into a magma of imaginaries that write and rewrite themselves, tending towards what could be defined as a fluid post-theater.
