The UNM Department of Theatre and Dance Ashes: a program of short plays by Samuel Beckett directed by Alejandro Tomàs Rodriguez.
A collection of four of Samuel Beckett’s short works that distill themes of isolation, memory, and the fragile search for connection. With dark humor and haunting precision, Beckett’s minimalist theatre reveals the beauty ad absurdity of the human condition.
Plays:
Rough for Theatre I
A blind man and a man in a wheelchair meet in a darkly comic exchange, circling between rivalry and dependence.
Play
Three figures, trapped in urns, deliver fragmented monologues about a love triangle.
Act Without Words II
Two figures in sacks are prodded into action by an unseen force, each enacting repetitive daily rituals.
Come and Go
Three women sit together and exchange whispers about one another’s hidden fates.
