【劇情概要】|Summary

Two men—Estragon (Gogo) and Vladimir (Didi)—wait in an unknown and unidentifiable place for an unknown and unidentifiable person named “Godot”. Why do they wait? Why don’t they go? They don’t know. Another couple—Pozzo and Lucky—answer that question. They come and go and are none the better for it. Waiting is the main action of the play, and yet, they must fill the time while waiting and perform a variety of activities to make the time pass. Beckett’s characters enact the contemporary disease of boredom, and all the different ways we attempt to stave it off. Are Didi and Gogo just stupid fools for waiting or do they preserve some dignity by their commitment to each other and to Godot?

兩位主角—艾斯特岡(戈戈)與維拉迪米爾(迪迪)—
在一處無人知曉的地方等待著無人知曉的人物：果陀。
為甚麼要等?為甚麼他們不離開?他們不曉得。
另一對角色—潑佐與幸運兒—回應了問題。
他們到來，他們離去，卻對一切絲毫沒有任何助益。

等待是整齣劇的主要行為；然而角色們又得在等待的過程裡，做一連串的事情好消磨時間。
貝克特筆下的角色詮釋了關於無聊的現代症狀，以及各種試圖破除乏味的方法。
迪迪跟戈戈只是兩個癡癡等待的傻子嗎?又或者，他們在承諾等待果陀到來這件事上，展現了某種尊嚴?

【劇團起源】| About the Phoenix Theatre

The Phoenix Theatre started in 1999 with performances of Tina Howe’s Birth and Afterbirth and David Ives’ Universal Language, and for seven years produced one or two plays a year. Most of the actors in Waiting for Godot have featured in previous Phoenix Theatre productions including: Metamorphosis (2000), Hysteria (2002), Murder, Mayhem and…Mating: Five Existential Comedies (2004).

Catherine Diamond has been directing shows for the Kinnari Ecological Theatre project in Southeast Asia since 2010, but during the pandemic resurrected The Phoenix Theatre to present Waiting for Godot. A play about waiting without ever knowing exactly what one is waiting for, or when the waiting will end seemed very appropriate for this time when we are all waiting, waiting even though we know things will never be the same, and we remain “in the dark”.

1999年，鳳凰劇團以演出蒂娜·浩威(Tina Howe)《Birth and Afterbirth 》、
大衛·艾伍士(David Ives)《通用語言》(Universal Language)兩部作品，
開始了他們的戲劇生涯；之後的七年里，每年都有一至兩場作品演出。
大多數《等待果陀》的演員皆參與過鳳凰劇團先前的演出，
如：《變形記》（2000）、《歇斯底里》（2004）等。

導演戴雅雯（Catherine Diamond)自2010年起
持續參與金娜里環境劇場計劃(Kinnari Ecological Theatre project)並執導劇作。
在疫情的影響下，重啓了鳳凰劇團並呈獻《等待果陀》。
一部不清楚在等的人是誰、何時才會結束等待的作品，
似乎非常適合獻給此刻同樣在等待的我們，
即便我們清楚情況並不如過往，即便我們仍「一無所知」。

【劇本背景】| About the play

山謬·貝克特（Samuel Beckett)的等待果陀（1953）
大略地描述了二戰後歐洲文明的崩壞，
社會機構與結構被摧毀下所幸存下來的人類，
猶如莎士比亞在《李爾王》里描述的：「寒傖赤裸的兩腳動物」。
如今這部當代經典已風行全球，台灣則在1965年首映。

Waiting for Godot (1953), Samuel Beckett’s play, supposedly depicts the ruins of European civilization after World War II when all institutional structures were devastated, leaving the surviving human beings as nothing but the “unaccommodated man, no more than a poor, bare, forked animal” described in Shakespeare’s King Lear. Now a modern classic performed around the world, it made its premiere in Taiwan in 1965.

【引言】| Introduction

別在劇裡尋找故事，也別在劇裡尋找意義，
只需要讓你自己進入角色裡，進入他們的關係，以及他們的窘境。
他們正等待著一位神秘的人物：果陀。
他們並不知道為何要等、為了什麼在等。

整部劇裡唯一做的，就是什麼也不做。
等待成為了一種生活方式，彷彿就是我們所在做的，不是嗎?
我們不都在等待些什麼?
你會感到有趣，或者乏味，或者兩者兼具。
讓自己對劇本保持好奇心：怎麼回事？
為甚麼超過半個世紀以來，人們會對等待果陀又愛又恨？
一旦你讓自身經歷與劇本有所連結，答案將永誌不忘。

Do not look for a story. Do not look for meaning.
Just open yourself to these characters, their relationships, and their predicament.
They are waiting for an unknown person, Godot. They do not know why they wait, or for what.
The only action in the play is inaction: Waiting becomes a Way of Life—not unlike our own, no?
Are we all not waiting for something?
Perhaps you will find it funny, or boring, or both.
Allow yourself to be curious—What is going on here?
Why have people been fascinated and irritated by Waiting for Godot for over half a century?
It requires you to make your own connection, and once you do, it will be with you forever.
