WARTEN AUF GODOT

About the show

The Berliner Ensemble's production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, directed by Luk Perceval, is a significant recent staging of the classic absurd theatre play, featuring actors like Matthias Brandt (Estragon) and Paul Herwig (Vladimir). This version, performed at festivals like the Ruhrfestspiele 2025 and within the Ensemble itself, offers a fresh interpretation of the endless wait, exploring existential themes and human resilience, sometimes with unique twists like rehearsals within the play or performances in unexpected settings like the Plötzensee Prison.
