To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause—there's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry

And lose the name of action.

Zu den verschwundenen Objekten aus der Kindheit gehörte ein Spiel, das dem Kind geschenkt wurde, als es anfing, sich auf sein Skelett zu reduzieren. Das Kind erbrach alles. Es magerte ab, bis man durch die Haut die Zähne und die Knochen sehen und sonst nichts sehen konnte. Die Eltern hatten Angst, dass es stirbt und brachten das Kind ins Krankenhaus. Um es dort in trister Lage zu unterhalten, gab es als Geschenk das erwähnte Spiel.

Das Kind freute sich, es konnte auch nicht wissen, dass von nun an diese Freude sich mit der Lage assoziieren würde, in der sie aufkam, also einer Lage, die alles andere als freundlich war. Das Spiel war in einem Karton, es bestand aus einer Tafel, der man eine Pappe auflegen konnte, auf der in unsortierter Reihenfolge mehrere Geschichten erzählt wurde. Ungefährt 10 Pappen, auf allen fanden sich in unsortierter Reihenfolge kurze Geschichten. Die Aufgabe bestand darin, die Bilder in der Reihenfolge der Geschichte zu sortieren. Die Bilder waren aber nicht zu bewegen, man musste sie anders sortieren. Dazu hatte das Kind zwei verkabelte Stecker in der Hand, einen roten und einen gelben, deren andere Enden in den Karton hineinliefen, der war eine black box.

Immer, wenn man mit den zwei Steckern zwei der Bilder (an einer speziell markierten, silberfarbenen und stromleitenden Stelle) berührte, die im Laufe der Geschichte im direkten Verhältnis zwischen vorher/ nachher standen, leuchtete eine Lampe auf. Auf den Blättern wurden drei oder vier Geschichten erzählt, jeder der Geschichte wurde in Paare zerlegt, die das Verhältnis zwischen vorher/ nachher markierten. Mehr nicht, weniger aber auch nicht. Das Kind wurde trainiert, zu sequenzieren und Paare aus vorher/nachher zu bilden, in einer Situation, die nicht freundlich war, aber über dieses Geschenk von nun an von dem Kind mit Freude assoziiert wurde. Glücklicherweise überlebte das Kind, gesundete und erwies sich auf einzelnen Gebieten durchaus als talentiert.

i could post “yesterday i stopped killing myself” and yoy all would eat it up without knowing its a line from heiner mullers 1977 postmodernist drama die hamletmaschine

[virtue-boy]

Hamletmachine (German: Die Hamletmaschine) is a postmodernist drama by German playwright and theatre director Heiner Müller. Written in 1977, the play is loosely based on Hamlet by William Shakespeare. The play originated in relation to a translation of Shakespeare's Hamlet that Müller undertook. Some critics claim the play problematizes the role of intellectuals during the East German Communism era; others argue that the play should be understood in relation to wider post-modern concepts. A characteristic of the play is that it is not centered on a conventional plot, but partially connects through sequences of monologues, where the protagonist leaves his role and reflects on being an actor.

Hamletmachine PDF

Opheliamachine is a postmodernist drama by the Polish-born American playwright and dramaturg, Magda Romanska. Written in the span of ten years, from 2002 to 2012, the play is a response to and polemic with the German playwright Heiner Mueller's Hamletmachine (in German, Die Hamletmaschine). Like Hamletmachine, Opheliamachine is loosely based on Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. The play originated in relation to Romanska's doctoral dissertation on the representation of death and femininity.

In Hamletmachine, Mueller deconstructs the impossible position of an Eastern European intellectual at the peak of the Cold War as well as the seemingly disappearing agency of the author. Likewise, Opheliamachine captures "the current historical moment with all its entrapments: the dissolution of national and gender identities, the loss of agency and the solipsism of contemporary lives in an increasingly fragmented—if connected—world, the brutal, animal-like quality of modern relationships, the collapse of a social order and its distinction, the chaos and violence that follows."[1] (translated from Italian)

L’Europa delle donne

Io sono Ofelia. Quella che il fiume non ha trattenuto. La donna con la corda al collo La donna con le vene tagliate La donna con l’Overdose. SULLE LABBRA NEVE. La donna con la testa nel forno a gas. Ieri ho smesso di uccidermi. Sono sola con i miei seni, con le mie cosce e con il mio grembo. Faccio a pezzi gli strumenti della mia prigionia la sedia il tavolo il letto. Distruggo il campo di battaglia che era la mia dimora. Strappo le porte perché possa entrare il vento e il grido del mondo. Mando in frantumi la finestra. Con le mani insanguinate strappo le fotografie degli uomini che ho amato e chi mi hanno usato a letto a tavola sulla sedia per terra. Do fuoco alla mia prigione. Getto nel fuoco i miei vestiti. Mi strappo l’orologio dal petto che era il mio cuore. Esco sulla strada vestita del mio sangue.
