Drawing on Beckett’s parable from Endgame, Richard Schechner explores how the world, that the tailor disparages, is polluted, its climate warming, deserts expanding, forests chopped down, mineral and liquid resources wantonly extracted, glaciers melting, seas acidifying and rising. In spite of that, there is still a reasonable chance to cling to optimism, because of Performance Studies’ inspiring role.
