"I don't seem to be able... (long hesitation) to depart."
- Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot


The only change to the set throughout the performance is the leaves upon the tree; I would not be able to alter Gallaccio's bronze tree, but could compromise by applying leaf-like artwork to the floor during the interval between the acts.

One artist of interest regarding the concept of reality is Anna Barriball.

" We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression that we exist?"




Barriball's embroidered leaves evoke a sense that things are not quite as they seem or how you expect them to be; a theme that is suggested multiple times within the play. The leaves would appear after the interval of the performance in order to suggest a sense of time passing onstage.
