Waiting for Godot was staged in 2002, and the premiere of Endgame took place at the end of February 2020. Robert Sturua always begins his work with in-depth analysis, development, editing of a text. The Endgame has been implemented by the same principle and the director created the stage text. In the performance one may recognize phrases from the Book of Revelation, from Waiting for Godot, and sometimes the phrases of Sturua himself. Despite of changes, Sturua presented on the stage a deep, philosophically existential farce, morality play, and sometimes a carnival atmosphere. There are not so many such Beckett's staging in the theater world by its meaning, form or structure. While carrying out changes, Sturua retained the rhythm, musicality, and rhythmic sound of Beckett's text. In the performance the same texts, the same actions are not repeated with the same frequency as in Beckett's play. In Sturua’s performance the sense of destruction and the apocalypse is more tangible and frightening. The interpretation of Endgame by Robert Sturua is an apocalypse, the end of the world, a warning to humanity... And the form goes beyond morality play, carnivalism, interactivity, epic and non-epic, and even beyond the maestro’s theatrical language itself.enBeckettSturuaTheatre of absurdInterpretationTheatrical languagetext::journal::journal article
