HAMNET at Stadtwerke Sommerkino: An evening between loss, light, and great cinematic poetry
With HAMNET, Stadtwerke Sommerkino in Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord presents a historical drama of rare emotional power. The screening on August 16, 2026, at 21:00 immerses you in a story where love, grief, and artistic transformation intertwine closely. The film by Chloé Zhao connects the Shakespeare myth, family narrative, and cinematic poetry into a unique outdoor stage experience.

A movie night in a unique industrial atmosphere
The foundry hall in Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord is one of those places where space itself becomes part of the drama. Where raw iron once flowed, today an atmospheric resonance space for culture, light, and audience experience is created. The park is open around the clock and combines industrial backdrop, light installation, and open-air character into a place that goes far beyond the usual cinema experience.

What HAMNET is about
The film tells the story of Will, Agnes, and their shared life in the shadow of a loss that simultaneously becomes the source of great art. The narrative links the death of Shakespeare's son with the creation of Hamlet and relies on strong imagery, emotional intensity, and sensitive acting. The fact that this interpretation is read as a historical drama and love story is underscored by the official program notes of Stadtwerke Sommerkino.
