TEHRAN-The play \u201cAct Without Words II\u201d by Samuel Beckett is currently on stage at Molavi Theater Hall in Tehran.<\/p>\n
The 45-minute play is translated and directed by Elham Iravani. She also performs in the play along with Sonya Esmaeeli.<\/p>\n
Written in the late 1950s, it is a short mime by Beckett, his second after \u201cAct Without Words I\u201d. Like many of his works, the piece was originally composed in French, then translated into English by Beckett himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAct Without Words II\u201d has the focused intensity of the best of Beckett\u2019s theater. A mime featuring two protagonists, A and B, it delineates the routines of life circumscribed within the movement from daybreak to dusk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the short one-act mime, the two characters, who are opposites in pace and personality, are prodded and provoked by a goad to do different actions.<\/p>\n
The play presents two individuals emerging in turn from sacks when a poking device goads them into action. They never meet, but are mutually engaged insofar as one\u2019s most important task is to move the other, cocooned inside sack, a little further away from the goad in one cycle in a longer struggle that we do not witness.<\/p>\n
\u201cAct Without Words II\u201d will remain on stage till October 22 at Molavi Theater Hall located at No. 16, 16th Azar St., Enqelab St.<\/p>\n
