The Forsythe Company

Yes we can’t

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.
