Experimental Beckett

How do twenty-first century theatre practitioners negotiate the dynamics of tradition and innovation across the works of Samuel Beckett? Beckett''s own tendencies toward fluidity of genre iteration/repetition and collaboration modes that also define the ''experimental'' allow for greater openness than is often assumed. Reading recent performances for creative uses of embodiment environment and technology reveals the increasingly interdisciplinary international and intermedial character of contemporary Beckettian practice. The experimentation of current practitioners challenges a discourse based on historical controversies exposing a still-expanding terrain for Beckett in performance.
