Othello

Synopsis
A recording of a stage production of Othello directed by Stefan Pucher at the Deutsche Schauspielhaus Hamburg. The glamorous production is an eerily entertaining mix of videoclips, popsongs and dance with Alexander Scheer as a ‘blackened’ popstar-general who in the end refuses to commit suicide because ‘the show must go on’.
