"Fi de Partida" at the Teatre Principal

The Teatre Principal will hold from October 19 to 22 the production "Fi de Partida" ("Endgame") by Samuel Beckett, produced by the Balearic Government together with the Mallorcan Council and Teatre Principal, and directed by the Rumanian, Gábor Tompa, with a technical and artistic team from the Balearics.

Last April, Gábor Tompa, an internationally well-known director, carried out the casting to select the actors for the production in the Teatre Principal. Both the casting and the following rehearsals, which also took place in the Teatre Principal, provoked great expectation, obtaining not only an important participation from the actors of the Islands but also great attention from the media.

The play premiered on June 8 at the Festival of Sitges 2000, within the exterior projection of the Balearics by the General Direction for Culture of the Balearic Government.

Now, for the first time, we can see in Mallorca the production, "Fi de Partida" that explains the story of two couples locked in an isolated interior space, who express the final that never comes. The useless waiting, the horror of time, the temporality, in short, Beckett's obsessions are some of the topics analysed in the play.
