Fail Better-Beckett Move UMO
Existence is too Serious to take Seriously
UMO Ensemble opened a performance featuring text from Samuel Beckett’s the Unnamable, physical theatre and music in the Eulalie Scandiuzzi Space at ACT theatre on April 9th.
Beckett is an extremely difficult author to stage because he writes non-linear confusing novels and plays whose humor that often gets lost because the subject matter deals with the most basic existential question: to go on living or not to go on living. As a result, it is often performed ponderously, tediously and at a snails pace so that the audience is never engaged.
