Cet article explore les implications philosophiques de l’œuvre dramatique de Samuel Beckett et de sa rencontre avec Gilles Deleuze au niveau des sensations et des pensées. Dans Endgame, la vision tragique de l’existence humaine de Beckett entre en résonance avec la perception deleuzienne de l’épuisement du sujet situé en relation avec un état clinique. Le sujet souffre d’un épuisement physiologique et logique. Beckett épuise l’espace pour mettre en scène la lutte existentielle du sujet et les limites de sa volonté dans les confins absurdes de la (post)modernité. Ainsi, la personne assise et épuisée n’aucune possibilité de construire d’autres possibilités d’un monde vivable.
