Greek director Theodoros Terzopoulos stages Beckett’s most famous work: in the hands of Terzopoulos, “Waiting for Godot” becomes one lens to decipher the Other who, inside and outside of us, summons opposites: animal longing and divine tension, madness and dream, delirium, and nightmare. A show that questions our own humanity.
On stage, two young performers and three of the most intense and sensitive Italian actors.
"The fundamental value of Terzopoulos’ direction lies in the fact that he continuously disassembles and recomposes Beckett’s text: or, more exactly, he neutralizes the well-known readings of the same and leads them back to the truth of the text itself." (Enrico Fiore) Text by: Samuel Beckett
