"Godot – Beckett’s character, which parabolically replaces God, has become in modern world a proverbial sign of unfulfilled waiting, unrealised yearning, of dreams that can never come true. In our spectacle we tell of those who wait, of the tension which builds up while we wait. Tensions complicate human relations. Being together evolves constantly. Nothing can be stable if each monad expects more than it has been given, more than it can win fighting desires of another monad. Yet, our spectacle is not a philosophical treatise about Leibnitz’s and Hegel’s ideas. We use the Hegellian triad only to observe how love between two people bears its own contradictions.
These contradictions create, using other people involved in the lovers lives, triangles which calm senses and combinations of such triangles. We are interested in the conflict between a feeling that calls for faithfulness and restless sexuality, always in search of a fresh conquest. There is no better way to talk about it than using dance theatre, where the everlasting relations between bodies become pure poetry".
