Esperando a Godot: esta movie de la simulación realmente es esto realmente es el mito de la caverna. Por otra parte, qué estoy haciendo con mi vida? Fin de Partida: no sé qué cojones acabo de leer, pero no recomiendo si estás de vacío existencial. Curioso, estás en un estado mental en el q todo te recuerda a tí mismo. Absurdo absurdo absurdo... el qué es absurdo: tú o todo? Mientras tanto hay distracciones, y cuanto más crecemos más vacíos estamos. A escuchar post punk bielorruso Acto sin palabras: metateatro
Obra surrealista y tragicómica que me ha dejado un regusto amargo. La desesperación de los protagonistas contagia, aunque a ratos su propia absurdez te haga sonreír. Me ha faltado algo para llegar a calarme.
"Fin de Partida" no terminó de gustarme, "Esperando a Godot" me ha dejado enamorado y "Acto sin Palabras" es la primera vez que me acerco al 'meta-teatro'.
