HEAR ME OUT: maximalist production of samuel beckett’s waiting for godot

#it goes against all sense it goes against all reason #but just think? #the absolute bare-bones minimalism of the content played out against a backdrop of overwhelming aesthetic maximalism? #the audience watching nothing happening (twice) while literally everything happens in the background? #you could spin it as a take on the modern condition--the individual who has 'everything' in a material sense #yet is still waiting for something--someone--to provide meaning to this whirlpool of things #or—idk #you could do so many different things with it idk idk #waiting for godot #samuel beckett #ellistxt #theatre #en attendant godot
