Čovek u ritama, po imenu Estragon,
00:07
A shabby man named Estragon,
0

2030
sedi blizu drveta u sumrak i muči se da skine čizmu.
00:09
sits near a tree at dusk and struggles to remove his boot.
1
9094
3830
00:12
He’s soon joined by his friend Vladimir,
2
12924
1880
Uskoro mu se pridružuje prijatelj Vladimir
00:14
who reminds his anxious companion that
3
14804
2300
koji podseća svog unezverenog prijatelja
da moraju da tu sačekaju nekoga po imenu Godo.
00:17
they must wait here for someone called Godot.
4
17104
3460
00:20
So begins a vexing cycle in which the two debate
5
20564
3400
Time započinje uznemirujući ciklus u kome dvojica raspravljaju
00:23
when Godot will come, why they’re waiting,
6
23964
2520
kada će Godo da stigne, zašto čekaju
00:26
and whether they’re even at the right tree.
7
26484
3310
i da li su uopšte kod pravog drveta.
00:29
From here, Waiting for Godot only gets stranger -
8
29794
3200
Drama „Čekajući Godoa“ nadalje postaje sve čudnija -
00:32
but it’s considered a play that changed
9
32994
2510
međutim, smatra se predstavom koja je izmenila
00:35
the face of modern drama.
10
35504
2130
naličje savremene drame.
00:37
Written by Samuel Beckett between 1949 and 1955,
11
37634
4329
Napisao ju je Semjuel Beket između 1949. i 1955. godine,
00:41
it offers a simple but stirring question -
12
41963
3660
a ona postavlja prosto, ali uzbudljivo pitanje:
00:45
what should the characters do?
13
45623
4250
šta bi likovi trebalo da urade?
00:49
Estragon: Don’t let's do anything. It's safer.
14
49873
3090
Estragon: Ne radimo ništa. Bezbednije je.
00:52
Vladimir: Let’s wait and see what he says.
15
52963
3700
Vladimir: Sačekajmo i vidimo šta će on da kaže.
00:56
Estragon: Who?
16
56663
1330
Estragon: Ko?
00:57
Vladimir: Godot.
17
57993
1670
Vladimir: Godo.
00:59
Estragon: Good idea.
18
59663
2030
Estragon: Dobra ideja.
01:01
Such cryptic dialogue and circular reasoning are
19
61693
2530
Slični šifrovani dijalozi i rasprave koje se vrte u krug
01:04
key features of the Theatre of the Absurd,
20
64223
2940
su glavne karakteristike pozorišta apsurda,
01:07
a movement which emerged after the Second World War
21
67163
3250
pokreta koji se pojavio nakon Drugog svetskog rata
01:10
and found artists struggling
22
70413
1850
i u kom su se zatekli umetnici
koji su se borili da nađu smisao u uništenju.
01:12
to find meaning in devastation.
23
72263
2920
01:15
The absurdists deconstructed plot, character and language
24
75183
4160
Pisci apsurda su dekonstruisali radnju, likove i jezik
01:19
to question their meaning and share
25
79343
2510
kako bi doveli u pitanje njihovo značenje i da bi podelili
01:21
their profound uncertainty on stage.
26
81853
3780
svoju duboku nesigurnost na sceni.
01:25
While this may sound grim,
27
85633
1980
Iako ovo može da zvuči turobno,
01:27
the absurd blends its hopelessness with humor.
28
87613
3180
apsurd stapa bespomoćnost sa humorom.
01:30
This is reflected in Beckett’s unique approach
29
90793
2580
Ovo se odražava u Beketovom jedinstvenom pristupu žanru
01:33
to genre in Waiting for Godot,
30
93373
2120
u knjizi „Čekajući Godoa“,
01:35
which he branded “a tragicomedy in two acts."
31
95493
4140
koju je označio kao „tragikomediju u dva čina“.
01:39
Tragically, the characters are locked in an
32
99633
2450
Likovi su tragično zarobljeni
u egzistencijalnoj zagoneci:
01:42
existential conundrum: they wait in vain
33
102083
3120
čekaju uzalud na nepoznatu ličnost da im da smisao postojanja,
01:45
for an unknown figure to give them a sense of purpose,
34
105203
2760
01:47
but their only sense of purpose
35
107963
1900
ali njihov jedini smisao postojanja potiče iz samog čina čekanja.
01:49
comes from the act of waiting,
36
109863
2720
01:52
While they wait, they sink into boredom,
37
112583
2680
Dok čekaju, padaju u dosadu,
01:55
express religious dread and contemplate suicide.
38
115263
4990
izražavaju religijsku bojazan i razmatraju samoubistvo.
02:00
But comically, there is a jagged humor to their predicament,
39
120253
3430
Međutim, komično je da njihov usud sadrži britak humor,
02:03
which comes across in their language and movements.
40
123683
2830
koji se ispoljava u njihovom jeziku i pokretima.
02:06
Their interactions are filled with bizarre wordplay,
41
126513
3220
Njihove interakcije su ispunjene bizarnim igrama reči,
02:09
repetition and double entendres,
42
129733
1880
ponavljanjima i dvostrukim značenjima,
02:11
as well as physical clowning, singing and dancing,
43
131613
3110
kao i klovnovskim ponašanjem, pevanjem, plesanjem
02:14
and frantically swapping their hats.
44
134725
2600
i mahnitim razmenama šešira.
02:17
It’s often unclear whether the audience is supposed to
45
137325
2630
Često je nejasno da li bi publika trebalo
02:19
laugh or cry - or whether Beckett saw
46
139955
2880
da se smeje ili plače -
i da li je Beket uopšte razlikovao ta dva.
02:22
any difference between the two.
47
142835
3020
02:25
Born in Dublin, Beckett studied English,
48
145855
2060
Rođen u Dablinu, Beket je studirao engleski,
02:27
French and Italian before moving to Paris,
49
147915
2980
francuski i italijanski jezik pre nego što se preselio u Pariz,
02:30
where he spent most of his life writing theatre,
50
150895
2710
gde je proveo veći deo života pišući pozorišne komade,
02:33
poetry and prose.
51
153605
2100
kao i poeziju i prozu.
02:35
While Beckett had a lifelong love of language,
52
155705
2870
Iako je Beket celog života bio zaljubljen u jezik,
02:38
he also made space for silence by incorporating gaps,
53
158575
4000
ostavljao je i prostora za tišinu, uvršćavajući prekide,
02:42
pauses and moments of emptiness into his work.
54
162575
4000
pauze i trenutke praznine u svoja dela.
02:46
This was a key feature of his trademark
55
166575
3690
Ključne osobine njegovog stila
02:50
uneven tempo and black humor,
56
170265
2890
su neujednačen tempo i crni humor,
02:53
which became popular throughout the Theatre of the Absurd.
57
173155
3250
koji su postali popularni u pozorištu apsurda.
02:56
He also cultivated a mysterious persona,
58
176405
2480
Takođe je negovao tajanstvenost u pojavi
02:58
and refused to confirm or deny any speculations
59
178885
3350
i odbijao je da potvrdi ili opovrgne bilo kakva nagađanja
03:02
about the meaning of his work.
60
182235
2350
o značenju svojih dela.
03:04
This kept audiences guessing,
61
184585
1590
Zbog ovoga je publika nagađala
03:06
increasing their fascination with his surreal worlds
62
186175
3220
i time povećavala svoju opčinjenost njegovim nadrealnim svetovima
03:09
and enigmatic characters.
63
189395
3032
i zagonetnim likovima.
03:12
The lack of any clear meaning makes Godot
64
192427
2860
Zbog odsustva bilo kakvog jasnog značenja,
Godo je beskrajno otvoren za tumačenja.
03:15
endlessly open to interpretation.
65
195287
2260
03:17
Critics have offered countless readings of the play,
66
197547
3220
Kritičari su ponudili bezbrojna čitanja drame,
03:20
resulting in a cycle of ambiguity and speculation
67
200767
3620
što je kao rezultat imalo ciklus dvosmislenosti i spekulacija
03:24
that mirrors the plot of the drama itself.
68
204387
3240
koje odražavaju i zaplet same drame.
03:27
It's been read as an allegory of the Cold War,
69
207627
3100
Drama je tumačena kao alegorija na Hladni rat,
03:30
the French Resistance,
70
210727
2490
francuski pokret otpora
03:33
and Britain’s colonization of Ireland.
71
213217
3010
i britansku kolonizaciju Irske.
03:36
The dynamic of the two protagonists has
72
216227
2090
Dinamika između dvojice protagonista
03:38
also sparked intense debate.
73
218317
2150
je takođe pokrenula intenzivne debate.
03:40
They’ve been read as survivors of the apocalypse,
74
220467
2840
Tumačeni su kao preživeli iz apokalipse,
03:43
an aging couple, two impotent friends,
75
223307
2510
ostareli par, dva impotentna prijatelja,
03:45
and even as personifications of Freud’s ego and id.
76
225817
5720
pa čak i kao personifikacije Frojdovog ega i ida.
03:51
Famously, Beckett said the only thing he could
77
231537
2170
Čuvena je Beketova izjava da jedino u šta može da bude siguran
03:53
be sure of was that Vladimir and Estragon
78
233707
3000
je da Vladimir i Estragon
03:56
were "wearing bowler hats."
79
236707
2960
„nose polucilindre“.
03:59
Like the critical speculation and maddening plot,
80
239667
2900
Baš kao nagađanja kritike i sumanuta radnja drame,
04:02
their language often goes in circles as the two
81
242567
2660
jezik likova se često vrti u krug
dok se njih dvojica prepiru i šegače, gube tok misli
04:05
bicker and banter, lose their train of thought,
82
245235
3170
04:08
and pick up right where they left off:
83
248405
2880
i nastavljaju tačno gde su stali.
04:11
Vladimir: We could start all over again perhaps
84
251285
3050
Vladimir: Možda bismo mogli početi ispočetka.
04:14
Estragon: That should be easy
85
254335
2140
Estragon: To bi trebalo da je lako.
04:16
Vladimir: It’s the start that’s difficult
86
256475
2920
Vladimir: Početak je težak.
04:19
Estragon: You can start from anything
87
259395
2420
Estragon: Možeš da počneš odakle god.
04:21
Vladimir: Yes, but you have to decide.
88
261815
2470
Vladimir: Da, ali moraš da odlučiš.
04:24
Beckett reminds us that just like our daily lives,
89
264285
3890
Beket nas podseća da, baš kao i naši svakidašnji životi,
04:28
the world onstage doesn’t always make sense.
90
268175
3070
život na sceni nema uvek smisla.
04:31
It can explore both reality and illusion,
91
271245
3680
On može da istražuje i stvarnost i iluzije,
04:34
the familiar and the strange.
92
274925
2100
poznato i neobično.
04:37
And although a tidy narrative still appeals,
93
277025
3530
I iako je uredno pripovedanje i dalje privlačno,
04:40
the best theatre keeps us thinking – and waiting.
94
280555
5020
najbolje pozorište nas navodi na razmišljanje - i čekanje.
