,First dance. Then think. This is the natural order of things". Absurd? Who would have spoken!

Samuel Beckett, the father of the theater of the absurd. He is known by all those who continue to live "waiting for Godot".

First dance, have fun, drink champagne, and then books and other nonsense, thought the young and adventurous the Irishman Sam Beckett until the time when he met another Irishman in one of the cafes of pre-war Paris, who did not miss a glass of whiskey, the free-spirited "Ulysses" - James Joyce.

Without much hesitation, the eccentric writer hires Beckett as his literary secretary, without hiding his nefarious intentions - to pass his problematic daughter, who has recently been a patient of Dr. Jung, to the talented guy.

What can I say, life is not a realistic play with an orderly plot, but often it is an absurd drama without a beginning and an end. By delving into Beckett's stream of consciousness, exploring the nature of his paradoxes, we begin to understand the causal relationships of his actions.

1969. year, Stockholm. The Nobel Prize Committee announces the winner of the prize in literature: Samuel Beckett. The classicist sitting in the hall, who has already crossed the sixty-year threshold, is shocked, theatrically whispers: "Catastrophe!" — and, having stepped on stage, shocks those around him by staging an absurd theatrical performance.

A genius interpretation of private life, traveling from the depths of shame and unraveling the ball of love and guilt through the prism of an unusual relationship with spicy details and annoying assumptions.

, We do not know why we came into the world and why there are obstacles in our way. However, in the apparent meaninglessness of existence, its meaning is paradoxically hidden. Search and doubt, don't waste time, otherwise you can spend your whole life waiting for Godot". ©
