Of all of Shakespeare’s plays, “Hamlet” might seem the hardest to adapt into dance. Its long soliloquies and a titular character stymied by indecision do not immediately scream movement potential. Nevertheless, Canadian ballet superstar and choreographer Guillaume Côté has teamed up with renowned director Robert Lepage of multi-disciplinary company Ex Machina to do exactly that; “The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark” marks its US premiere at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park, Chicago. Perhaps it’s Côté’s desire to dance once again the famous role of the Dane (previously with the National Ballet of Canada) that has propelled this star-driven vehicle into existence.
