Summary/Abstract: Samuel Beckett succeeded on changing, forever, profoundly and surprisingly, the form and shape of modern theater writing and performing. If the twentieth century witnessed the revolt of the novel and poetry against canonical writing, the theater couldn't be left out by sharing the modern Zeitgeist, yearning for innovation and change. The unique thing about the Beckettian theater is that it represents a moment of total shift in the general perception of the theatrical experience.
