The Musicality of Beckett's Plays on the Page and in Performance

Wednesday 25^th January: Dr. Danijela Kulezic-Wilson

In her presentation Dr. Kulezic-Wilson will explore how Beckett’s infatuation with music led him to reach beyond the denotative purpose of language and imagine his theatre plays as musical compositions. She will be discussing how Beckett’s lifelong striving to achieve the perceptual immediacy of music through words was the primary force behind his reinvention of language and the creation of several landmark works in modern theatre. 

Perforum is an events series hosted by Drama and Theatre Studies featuring the work of directors, practitioners, and researchers in the fields of Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies.
