Events Description
Vladimir and Estragon wait endlessly for someone named Godot, passing the time in Inuktitut, the most widely spoken language of the North. Hungry, battered, bored and deeply bound to one another, they share a kinship that is tender, grumpy, and enduring, relying on their wit and companionship to make life bearable.
Join Beckett’s famous duo as they banter, bicker, and wait for Godot. This legendary play is performed in Inuktitut, with subtitles and sections in English.
An important note on the show art:
This historical photograph is doubly anonymous. Despite archival research and community connections, we were unable to identify the Inuk man or the photographer.
The absence of attribution is a common issue in historical photographs of Inuit people, who were often unidentified or generically labeled in archival records. The photo is titled “Eskimo reading Saturday Evening Post in the arctic region.” We include this note to acknowledge that erasure and to draw attention to the broader colonial practices that contributed to it.
