A centennial celebration of Samuel Beckett
and Dmitry Shostakovich

Two of the twentieth century’s finest artists turned 100 in 2006, or would have, had the tides of time not been drawn to shore. A is for Atlas has created a theatrical installation inspired by and reflecting on the work of these two great artists. Four short plays, sonata fragments, and a visual art feast combined for a cross-artform event like no other. I Start Again also featured the world-first performance of Samuel Beckett’s What Where by an all-female cast.
