Three decades
ago, the Eugene Ionesco Theatre garnered its first successes with a production of
Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” – performing at the Avignon Festival in
1994, then touring with it in France,
Spain and Japan. In the
autumn of 2013, Petru Vutcărău, the theatre’s manager, directed young members
of the acting company in a performance built upon improvisations in the spirit
of the legendary Beckett performance. Godot Improvisations is a production in which the infinite is
tantamount to waiting and vice versa. It is a performance about hope. Why
improvisations? Because five spirited and enthusiastic young actors,
guided by director Petru Vutcărău, created a spectacle built upon
improvisations – improvisations on the theme of waiting.
