K-pop boy-band meets Shakespearean drama in this energetic all-male show by Modern Table Dance Company. 
 
8 dancers in slick suits battle against the pressure to conform. Claiming their right to desire, their quests push them into becoming lone heroes. Loosely inspired by depictions of madness in Hamlet and Macbeth, Ham:beth combines Korean traditional songs with live rock of drums, electric guitar and a lead singer. Fast and furious choreography blends into a powerful gig atmosphere, creating the thrilling sensation of relentless energy, danger and emotional charge.
 
Modern Table is an award-winning dance company from South Korea, led by choreographer Kim Jae Duk.
