Eleutheria

In an hour, I will be spectating an Augsburg production of "Eleutheria".
I don't know how I feel about this production just yet since I've hardly watched any of Augsburg theater production.
Besides that, I am not informed at all in my knowledge to Eleutheria's background. Eleutheria means liberty in Greek. And the play is written by Samuel Beckett. That's all know.
According to Wiki:
"The plot concerns the efforts of a young man, Victor Krap, to cut himself off from society and his own family; the title reflects this: eleutheria (ελευθερία) is Greek for "liberty"."

Just a lil bit bout the author:
He was Irish. Died at 83 yearsold. Considered the last modernist, but sometimes seen as the first post-modernist.
And according to Wiki:
Beckett "as a writer can be roughly divided into three periods: his early works, up until the end of World War II in 1945; his middle period, stretching from 1945 until the early 1960s, during which period he wrote what are probably his most well-known works; and his late period, from the early 1960s until Beckett's death in 1989, during which his works tended to become shorter and shorter and his style more and more minimalist."
Eleutheria falls on the middle period.
"After World War II, Beckett turned definitively to the French language as a vehicle. It was this, together with the aforementioned "revelation" experienced in his mother's room in Dublin—in which he realized that his art must be subjective and drawn wholly from his own inner world"
"Broadly speaking, the plays deal with the subject of despair and the will to survive in spite of that despair, in the face of an uncomprehending and, indeed, incomprehensible world."
Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. ... Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.-Endgame, 18–19

Ok...I think we've learned enough. I will update you with more information of the production later. =)
