How It Is
Internationally renowned Beckett specialists, Gare St Lazare Ireland make a welcome return to the festival with the world premiere of all three parts of Beckett’s towering novel, How It Is reimagined for film. How It Is charts a journey undertaken by turns alone and accompanied. Time and space are fragmented and juxtaposed in one of the most eloquent and exquisite texts in the Beckett canon, continuing the company’s critically acclaimed exploration and illumination of Beckett’s prose texts, How It Is seeks out new ways for audiences to experience Beckett’s prose by jumping genres—the novel to the stage and now the stage to screen. This durational piece of six hours is a first-time opportunity for an audience to experience the work in one sitting.
