Endspiel

"... it's over, it's over, it's going to end, maybe it's going to end." That's how the game begins. Perhaps, says Beckett, that is the key word of his texts. Maybe that's the end, maybe everything is just a game, poetry, not worldview, but their parody.

Four persons: Nell, the mother, Nagg, the father, Hamm, her son - and Clov. Perhaps the classic servant, perhaps the son of Hamm, at least the one who has experienced nothing other than the now and who has to say, "that the earth has died out, although I never saw it glowing". The persons are defective: Nell and Nagg without legs, Hamm blind and paralyzed, Clov unable to sit. The piece itself is designed for perfection: "No, there are no coincidences in the endgame, everything is based on analogies and repetitions," says director Beckett. The whole thing a fight: for love, for touch, power, for your own biography, even the language. Not a single imprudence is forgiven, always everyone is on the lookout, in suspense, always trying to find the gap to land a hit. The game is aimed at farewells. Nell and Nagg disappear, she with a deep look into the void, he with a curse on the son. Hamm and Clov dismiss each other without really separating.

An end and a game. The end of everything, of nature, acting, wanting and finally speaking, and playing with the possibilities to imagine something, not only yourself, but also the other.
