Resumo

Este artigo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma reflexão acerca do dramatículo Footfalls (Passos), uma das principais peças do teatro tardio de Samuel Beckett, tendo como aporte teórico os conceitos de fantasmático e de esgotamento. Abordaremos o dramatículo primeiramente tendo como foco a análise do texto, seus elementos estruturais e temáticos, para em seguida abordarmos o processo de encenação do dramatículo empreendido por Samuel Beckett, no que se refere às duas encenações realizadas pelo dramaturgo-encenador irlandês, a primeira delas levada ao palco do Royl Court Theatre de Londres, e a segunda levada ao palco do Schiller-Theater Wekstatt de Berlin. Para tanto, utilizaremos as anotações de Samuel Beckett publicadas em edição fac-símile dos notebooks de direção desenvolvidos por ele para ambas as encenações, bem como o diário do assistente de direção da montagem alemã, Walter Asmus, além de depoimentos das atrizes Billie Whitelaw e Hildegard Schmahl.
