by Dead Centre with Mark O'Halloran
As part of the Dublin Theatre Festival 2019, “Beckett’s Room”, the latest production by theatre company Dead Centre, will celebrate its World Premiere
“Beckett’s Room” is set in Beckett’s Parisian apartment where he used to live with his partner Suzanne during the Second World War while writing and supporting the French Resistance. This story of both art and political resistance is told through the biography of a room. Without any performers, “Beckett’s Room” is a spectacle of absence and an invitation to bear witness to a world as it disappears. Through headphones the audience will listen to a world changing around us, and changed by us.
Voices by German actors Christoph Gawenda and Moritz Gotwald, ensemble members of Schaubühne Berlin.
