The spectacle of struggle for exceptional performance is always haunted by the thrilling spectre of failure. Reflecting the resolve voiced by
Beckett to
“Try again. Fail again. Fail better,”* the deliberate staging of mishap in «
Yes we can’t» ironically effaces the patina of excellence in performance, laying bare its inhering unsustainability and constant imperfection.
* Samuel Beckett, Worstward Ho.
