It would be hard to imagine a more iconic site in twentieth-century theatre than the barren tree of Beckett’s Godot. A witness to time, its vicissitudes and defeats. Choreographer and dancer Věra Ondrašíková casts the tree in a series of dance roles in which it changes not only its functions, but also its miraculous times.
