By Nortan Palacio (Norton P.)
Based Loosely on “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett
Directors Actors: Amalia Herrera & Norton P.
Waiting for 2059″ written by Nortan Palacio Ortiz (Colombian director, actor and playwright with whom I share this creation) is a project, a work, a dialogue, a provocation that challenges us to strip away fears and prejudices to allow us to think together.
We created “Off the map” Cia to belong to this “non-place” that we sometimes find ourselves in as artists, as immigrants, as “foreigners”, as activists of other possible worlds that contain vulnerability, solidarity, sensitivity to the different.
Words stop meaning at the beginning to embody our pronunciation difficulties that are material for creation.
This creation is theatre, it is dance with text, it is breaking down walls and finding ourselves in gazes navigating possibilities to shake our humanity. Long live creating!
This work is freely inspired by “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett
