My first impression was a very strong one,’ repeated the prince. ‘When they took me away from Russia, I remember I passed through many German towns and looked out of the windows, but did not trouble so much as to ask questions about them. This was after a long series of fits. I always used to fall into a sort of torpid condition after such a series, and lost my memory almost entirely; and though I was not altogether without reason at such times, yet I had no logical power of thought. This would continue for three or four days, and then I would recover myself again. I remember my melancholy was intolerable; I felt inclined to cry; I sat and wondered and wondered uncomfortably; the consciousness that everything was strange weighed terribly upon me; I could understand that it was all foreign and strange. I recollect I awoke from this state for the first time at Basle, one evening; the bray of a donkey aroused me, a donkey in the town market. I saw the donkey and was extremely pleased with it, and from that moment my head seemed to clear.’ ‘A donkey? How strange! Yet it is not strange. Anyone of us might fall in love with a donkey! It happened in mythological times,’ said Madame Epanchin, looking wrathfully at her daughters, who had begun to laugh. ‘Go on, prince.’ ‘Since that evening I have been specially fond of donkeys. I began to ask questions about them, for I had never seen one before; and I at once came to the conclusion that this must be one of the most useful of animals-strong, willing, patient, cheap; and, thanks to this donkey, I began to like the whole country I was travelling through; and my melancholy passed away.’⁰
What a beautiful depiction of not only one topic but the various different topics that influenced the theatre of the absurd. I really enjoyed the film-like visuals and how you edited it all together, fantastic work!
This was a really interesting video! I loved it when you as well as I started to "figure it out" that we, in the end, are those who impose the absurd upon ourselves
Video: "Kierkegaard is regarded to be the father of existentialism" Kierkegaard: "Well, thank you, yes, I did seem to have an influ..." Video: "Existence precedes essence" Kierkegaard: "Well... hold on a minute, I nev..." Video: "Existentialists start from the premise that the world is godless" Kierkegaard: "Wait, NO, come back..."
Beautiful music, sound quality and audio editing

6:37 - That's how I feel about both Waiting For Godot and Endgame.
And they both give me great comfort.

I wish there was no music in this great video:(
Beckett's trilogy are my favorite books ever and I think everyone in this comment section should read it.
Existentialism is all about human choice and freedom
Absurd Theatre abandoned traditional and logical form of drama
Mate, this is a really good video. Thank you so much and congratulations!
Whoa
And I loved the music in the first half.
good video with a thought provoking voice over

Thanks, needed this for uni
Why is the anthem of Catalonia in the video? Totally unexpected.
You're not free not to choose. Freedom is a curse.
Freedom is the most important thing
Lose the distracting and annoying music.
