all these words was an immersive audio-visual experience of Samuel Beckett’s novel, The Unnamable. Written directly after Waiting for Godot and first published in French as
L’Innommable in 1953, The Unnamable marked the end of Beckett’s one and only ‘frenzy of writing’ and haunted much of his subsequent work in the theatre. Voiced by theatre artist Olwen Fouéré, all these words offered a sensory encounter with Beckett’s enigmatic text, bypassing narrative structure and intellect, to journey inside and beyond the human experience.
Reading from the final novel in Beckett’s ‘Trilogy’, all these words captured the disjointed monologues of Beckett’s mysterious protagonist, unburdened by conventions of plot and setting.
The exhibition was produced by Kellie Hughes, a theatre artist whose works have toured extensively both nationally and internationally.
