VOYONS VOIR BECKETT RÉALISATEUR: qui voit quoi où? ou: n'y a-t-il vraiment que nuages passant dans le ciel à la télévision?

……, one of the few television plays by Beckett that deviates from the law of the continuous shot, explicitly interrogates the conditions of the image's visibility. In this sense it exemplifies the contest between visual and literary image in Beckett's oeuvre. A close look at three of the work's constituents (its text, schema, and production) reveals a reciprocal relation between the vision of H and F, which recalls the problematic of and the pursuit of O by Œ. In the present instance, however, the poetic image appears the ideal and absent site of a possible union.
