Waiting for Godot

Godot is now more than just a play; it is a 20th-century classic. It forms part of the collective imagination. The strength, humor, poetry, tenderness, pain, and laughter that this play conveys, a metaphor for human vulnerability and courage, remain relevant today. A play that Beckett described as horribly comic. A show based on the humanity and comedy of its sensational actors, on words and space, on poetry and humor.

Duration: 110 min

Price: €24 in the courtyard and €20 in the amphitheater.

Two friends, almost brothers, an odd couple who, while waiting, talk, argue, play, challenge each other, reconcile, love each other, repel each other. Another odd couple arrives, even stranger, and the game diversifies. Godot does not arrive, but his emissary does.

A flood of humanity in characters who are helpless, wandering, disconnected, reminding us that human beings, even in very difficult situations, are capable of getting back up, or at least, as Estragon does at the end of the play, of putting their pants back on, which, in the absence of a belt, are tied with a humble string.
