Description :
Eight characters meet at a bus stop in a big city: a silent man, a grandfather, a young woman, a boy, a man with glasses, a mother, a carpenter, a manager... All characters about whom we know very little, but who at least share a common quest: to see their lives improve. The bus waits and waits. And with it, allegorically, everything that could give each of them the little push they need to progress and give meaning to their lives. The Bus Stop is one of Gao Xingjian's first plays, premiered in 1983 at the People's Art Theatre in Beijing and immediately censored. In its own way, it is highly representative of a form of theatre flirting with the absurd which, in every country, is unbearable for those responsible for enforcing censorship. Gao Xingjian is a multi-talented artist: novelist, playwright, poet, theatre and film director, painter and thinker. Born in China in 1949, he became a French citizen in 1997 and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000. He currently lives in Paris. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
