'Hamlet Rex is a dark, black comedy - black and absurd. It digs into the idea of tragedy and destiny. Why do we commit the same mistakes over and over again? Why can't we leave the vicious circle that humanity seems to be destined to endure? And... who or what is controlling this tragedy?

'The Hamlet family (Hamlet junior, his mother Gertrudie and his uncle Claudius) being trapped in time by Shakespeare, have now arrived at the XXI century. They are depressed and dull characters who desperately want to preserve their own super-star status in the new information and consumer age. Now the royal family are a family of artists. Hamlet wants to be an actor, like his mother, he's going to perform in Oedipus Rex and he's got the main part. The tragedy is guaranteed.'

'An epic horror story. It has an historical theme, the real attempt by 16 th century Spanish explorers to discover the Terra Australis Incognita, King Solomon's mines and the secret of eternal youth. The protagonist, an amnesia victim, is coerced into astral travel experiments that propell him into the past. He experiences a tremendous adventure, witnessing an alchemist explorer's quest that takes us from Spain to the Americas before crossing the Pacific to the Islands of Solomon. And while our astral travelling hero witnesses all of this, he himself discovers the secret of his own true identity.'
