“…fastidious sound design, as pronouncedly as Foley footsteps – the effect is of an illustrated radio play”.

The biography of a room

an invitation to bear witness to a world as it disappears

A play without performers, Beckett’s Room tells the story of the apartment in Paris where Samuel Beckett lived with his partner Suzanne during the Second World War. A story of Art and Resistance, the audience listen through headphones and gaze upon a spectacle of absence – the absence of bodies on stage focuses us more intently on their stories, on the world changing around us, and changed by us.
