With hindsight, we can see exactly how wrong the labels given to Samuel Beckett have been, since it has been said that his writing was sad, negative and desperate. Nowadays, it can be said that several of his pieces submerge us in the reality of human existence, but with an element of humor - and it is this humor that has saved us. Beckett rejects every theory, every core belief, looking for the truth. He observes people amid the darkness and takes them into what is vast and unknown about life, so they can discover their truth by taking a look at themselves and others. Like Beckett, we share their uncertainty, their search, their pain. This theatrical reflection by the masters of European theater, Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne, incorporates parts of Fragments, a piece premiered in 2008 and filmed in 2015 and which contains the short plays Rough For Theater I, Rockaby, Act Without Words II and Neither.
Peter Brook es uno de los más prestigiosos y revolucionarios directores del teatro moderno. Uno de los ejercicios que practica en sus cursos de formación de actores es el desafío de la "cuerda floja", un proceso de transformación que hace el teatro real tanto al público como al propio actor. Por primera vez en cuarenta años, Brook ha accedido a que las cámaras filmen cómo la "cuerda floja" provoca su efecto alquímico en los actores. Durante dos semanas, el hijo de Brook, Simon, registró a un grupo de actores y músicos en su exploración de los secretos del teatro.
