ABOUT
THE METHOD
THE METHOD
“Godot was here” is a performance in the genre of theatrical clowning and visual theatre.
A clown is not an actor… A clown does not “play” anything… They speak from the stage about what their Heart wants to say, regardless of the “director” or the “play”.
In this case, the director’s task is not to “stage” a number for each participant, but to help notice, highlight, and dramaturgically shape the story discovered by each participant.
It is not the staging of a play, but the creation of acts based on the participants’ ideas and the construction of a performance that brings together what the final story will sound like and how it will unfold.
