Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A performance that stages two characters by master authors of contemporary literature. Krapp, the protagonist of Beckett, faces the nameless woman of Handke in a theatrical duel where control and improvisation, past and present, acting and performance dialogue on stage. The direction of Barletti and Waas accompanies this unusual conversation between memory and word, asking whether it is really necessary to have the last word. The show, lasting approximately 85 minutes, will take place at Cantieri Teatrali Koreja in Lecce on 4 October at 7 pm, with original music performed live.

Uno spettacolo che mette in scena due personaggi di autori capolavori della letteratura contemporanea. Krapp, il protagonista di Beckett, si confronta con la donna senza nome di Handke in un duello teatrale dove controllo e improvvisazione, passato e presente, recitazione e performance dialogano sul palco. La regia di Barletti e Waas accompagna questa insolita conversazione tra ricordo e parola, domandandosi se sia davvero necessario avere l'ultima parola. Lo spettacolo, di circa 85 minuti, si terrà ai Cantieri Teatrali Koreja di Lecce il 31 ottobre 2026 alle 19:00, con musiche originali eseguite dal vivo.
