Ophelia maaaaaaaaad

This ballet production was created by choreographer Barry Moreland of West Australian Ballet. I suppose the director decided to make Ophelia look extremely crazy. Yes she is crazy, but here she is violent, and her move is extreme.
But I like this anyways, because when one is crazy, I bet that's how it's like inside their head.

It is we who are Hamlet. . . . He who has felt his mind sink within him, and sadness cling to his heart like a malady, who has had his hopes blighted and his youth staggered by the apparitions of strange things; who cannot be well at ease when he sees evil hovering near him like a spectre; whose powers of action have been eaten up by thought, he to whom the universe seems infinite, and himself nothing; whose bitterness of soul makes him careless of consequences, and who goes to a play as his best resource to shove off, to a second remove, the evils of life by a mock representation of them—this is the true Hamlet.
--William Hazlitt
