I would really like to know who composed this music. So if anyone knows...

[MonsieurRochas]

I don't think the music was written. There are four percussionists and each one plays when his "character" enters. But I could be wrong.

Auf die Essenz reduzierte Formsprache, darin dürfte auch die Verbindung zu Becketts Stücken bestehen. Ich weiss nicht, ob Beckett McGoohans "The prisoner" gekannt hat, aber der Hinweis von fantastic958 weiter unten ist sehr interessant.

About the music: Beckett indicated that each actor/actress should have a percussion sound associated to them. As distinct from each other as possible, and that was it. So there is no written music for this play.

[nigulat]

A very decent approach at Beckett's play (not easy!) Good work. Great music. I don't have the book with me right now, but I remember that Beckett says something about the central area, that is it to be avoided or something. I think the dot is the performers' idea, but not sure right now.

Unmoreable, I am just beginning to look at Beckett's work and love the other pieces like Come and Go and Not I but I was wondering if you could give me a little more explanation as to this piece as I don't really find anything within it. Did Beckett himself say anything about this piece?

[fantastic958]

check out the revolt scene from the final episode of The Prisoner ( written by partick mcgoohan) to find the origin of the piece 'by' Beckett.

Check it out on my facebook profile.

[TheSpilster]

I'm trying to write an essay on this. It is not fun.

[jefrosw1]

Posted other 2 comments...this is the 3rd. Beckett's work is so much about the anal circuit...."FUCK" is such an ideal expression, now that I look back...And for your kind info, I am not DIGGING A BIT OF BECKETT..i have studied him seriously for the last 5 years, read everything that he has written(most of the most of the notebooks), almost everything on him and currently starting my PHD on Beckett..I dislike unstudied insolence, which is SO SO SO EASY...Is it not?

I am a little too passionate about Beckett...I was really really angry...now when I look back, head exploding is such a perfectly intended Beckettian effect!remember Artaud, remember The Theatre of cruelty...I bieleve in giving dignity by retaining the complexity of things...life is complex, even Ibsen is complex in his own way...Beckett in another...Beckett's writing is strongly ethical want to find out? check out Badiou's responses to Beckett, my friend...
