Abstract

Abstract Postmodernism is still a landmark for theatre creators worldwide. Hard to define, it proposes, as Umberto Eco also acknowledged, a critical view of the past, filled with witt and irony, when referring to a disbalanced present, lacking value or perspective. It seems relevant, when talking about postmodernism, to yield Samuel Beckett’s writings, his prose and his theatre being stamps of change in the middle of the XXth century. We chose for analysis the play Waiting for Godot, which uncovers postmodern traits, and by discovering them, the text is better understood for the director or actor who is to stage the play or a character from it.
