C'est moi dans la poubelle
Festival Beckett Unbound

When Ezra Pound was released, after twelve years, from the mental hospital he'd been committed to, he returned to Italy and lapsed into a long silence of deep regret and shame. This was not a vow of silence, just a depressed wordlessness - he felt he'd ruined everything, not least his own Cantos ('a botch - stupidity and ignorance all through'). He went to see Endgame in Paris, uttering only the title of the play. Beckett subsequently came to visit him in Venice, and C’est Moi Dans la Poubelle is a film rendition of this meeting, according to Beckett's account, with treatment by James Lever and directed by Michael O’Neill (Armchair & Rocket).
