Peter Brook is one of the few contemporary theatre artists who are deeply conscious of the connection between aesthetics and ethics. He treats the art of theatre as a medium capable of sharpening perceptions and awakening the spiritual sensitivity of the spectator, as well as promulgating the human sensation of reciprocal belonging. Brook’s production of The Tragedy of Hamlet, which testifies to the conformity of the English director’s practice with his theory, is interpreted in light of Brook’s conception of theatre and culture - a conception arising from his conviction about the existence of a common, universal space of anthropological experience.
