Abstract

At the end of September 2024, the career of István Szabó K. as a director arrived at his third adaptation of Godot. By staging Samuel Beckett’s legend of waiting, the Jászai Mari Prize-winning director maps and tracks the changes in the world and in his view of the world every ten years: what one could—or could not—hope for two decades ago, and ten years later, and what might—or might not—give reason for optimism in the present situation, viewed from the here and now.
