Abstract
Among Beckett’s dramaticules, That Time emphasizes most strongly the desire of the elderly to tell their memories. Questioning our ability to listen, this dramaticule creates a disjunction between seeing and hearing – the former inviting an immediate enjoyment of meaning, the latter privileging resonance, sharing, and duration. In Robert Wilson’s production of Krapp’s Last Tape, the denial of aging is a consequence of his decision to let seeing dominate at the expense of hearing, and this choice leads us to bring up the question of the reparative function of theater.
