Following the success of La Casa di Bernarda Alba featured in the 2011 Festival, Lluís Pasqual returns to Naples with Endgame in a Neapolitan vein.
«I don’t think that there is a less literary and more contemporary theatrical style that that of Samuel Beckett. In a meeting in Paris, I heard him say that the most terrible crime of man is to take himself too seriously. I strongly believe that all Neapolitans – actors and public and normal people in general – manifest this irony and humour gives to their everyday lives, distancing themselves from existence. For this reason, I am very happy to be able to give Endgame this Neapolitan touch. I am certain that the writer-philosopher, with his bird of prey vision of the world, would be very happy for this meeting; as happy as I am!».
