Cultural recommendation for the weekend
Theatrical performance of "Endgame" by Samuel Beckett
“One of the most lucid creators of our time, Krystian Lupa (European Theater Award 2009), after directing several texts by Thomas Bernhard and productions on figures such as Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe, decides to tackle a Beckett for the first time, with a company Spanish led by José Luis Gómez.
Endgame is perhaps the most essential work of Beckett, that master of humor in exasperation. “We need to get as many laughs as possible with this heinous thing,” Beckett told the Endgame cast.
