Stefanie Bálint-Gruber — Waiting for the Frog to Disappear
Potential Energy — Energy Potential — Winter 2025
In a play reminiscent of Waiting for Godot, a bull avoids a task at all costs, waiting insistently for a frog to disappear. Combining Samuel Beckett’s theatre script with phrases from Brian Tracy’s self-help book Eat That Frog, the work reflects on waiting, procrastination and the pressure to constantly perform and optimise.
Rather than framing waiting as a passive activity, the work presents it as a form of failure within a culture that values continuous progress.
