STILL X 6

Six short pieces written in the last decade of Beckett’s life.

Attempting to write the experience of dying - not traumatically, but carefully and irreversibly. They are precise yet elusive approaches to the Event: the shock, the patience, the regret, the loneliness, the persistence, the threshold and the absence.

The haunting language evokes the unsolved mystery of life’s ending without attempting to solve it. Our task in staging these 6 masterworks is to give a bodied form to their haunting, through performance, space, lighting and sound. We will not over-embellish. We will go boldly to the feeling heart of matter.
