Winnie is freely adapted from Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days. We’ve been making our way through the Irish author’s texts and characters with the actors of the Laboratorio Permanente for three years now. Winnie is a resultant mise-en-scéne with the interpreters Federica Rinaldi and Cesare Tedesco, masters of expression, expectation and silence. Together, we set off on a path full of surprises that led us to ways to revive and reinvent Beckett’s situations and characters, and these special actors render their unique strangeness with great freedom through their inventiveness, dramatic sensitivity and playfulness.
