Two homeless people in an indeterminate landscape and an uncertain time. They talk expectantly about the future day and desperately search for shared memories from the past, their present consists of nothing but waiting. To endure the torment of waiting and not being able to leave, they engage in play. Perhaps no stage work has provoked as many different interpretations as this one, although it eludes any theses and antitheses.

“Waiting for Godot” is the second and most famous play of the Irish Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett, premiered in Paris in 1953 and is considered a groundbreaking century work and a central text of the Theatre of the Absurd.
