Fin de Partie

Wiener Staatsoper

György Kurtág

Four figures vegetate in a hostile, almost uninhabitable landscape: Clov and Hamm, Nagg and Nell.

Hamm, in a wheelchair, is served by Clov, who can still walk a little. Hamm's parents Nell and Nagg have been living in (garbage) garbage cans since they lost their legs in a cycling accident. These four move between the continuous return of the unchangeable and the memory of "the past" by bullying and cajoling each other, conjuring and cursing, narrating and interrupting.
