Warten auf Godot (En attendant Godot)

Quick Info

Two characters are waiting in a remote place for a mysterious stranger called Godot. He has promised to come and change their lives. At least that's what they believe. But does Godot really exist and if so, what do they expect from him? Waiting for Godot sheds light on people's quest for change and comfort, while at the same time they are confronted with the pressing problems of their present.

The groundbreaking play by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett is considered a key work of absurd theatre. A theatre that presents people's sense of disorientation in the modern world of the 20th century through seemingly nonsensical scenes and situation comedy. The need to demand stability or improvement in times of crisis seems to be inevitable for people. But what could be the principle of Godot in our technologised and self-insecure times?

In Bochum, Waiting for Godot is now being staged at the Schauspielhaus under the direction of Ulrich Rasche. The Bochum director has created a unique theatre language with his visually impressive productions, which also thrive on complex stages and a penetrating language. Four productions by Ulrich Rasche were invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen: Schiller's Die Räuber (2017), Büchner's Woyzeck (2018), Ágota Kristóf's Das große Heft (2019) and Lessing's Nathan der Weise (2024). Waiting for Godot is his first work at Schauspielhaus Bochum.
