A woman (Monica Demuru) is buried in a mound of sand, first up to her waist, and then up to her neck. Her husband (Roberto Abbiati) lives in a cavity in the mound of sand, behind his wife. The play begins, the woman is wakened by a bell, smiles, and says: “Another heavenly day”. And she faces a new day, trying to manage to be happy, as we all do. «That mound of sand – states Massimiliano Civica, the three-times winner of the Ubu Award for best director – is Beckett’s stroke of genius; once its “absurd” premises are accepted, we find ourselves with a realist work, a situation and a relationship between the characters marked with an absolute and “banal” quotidianity. Beckett’s “absurdity” lies in the mound, in the choice of the initial physical situation, not in the characters or what they say. This work “extroflects” an essential condition, translating it physically to render it evident on stage; we are all blocked, incapable of looking into each other’s eyes, to move towards each other, all desperately seeking a form of contact that makes us feel less alone. »
