Samuel Beckett''s 『Waiting for Godot』(En Attendant Godot) is an absurd play that reflects the absurdity of human existence, influenced by World War II. The representative characteristics of 『Waiting for Godot』 are the repetitive meaningless conversations and silences while waiting for Godot. These emphasize the absurdity of communication, and reveal performativity thorough the characteristics of daily life and active meaning-making by the audience. Performativity creates physical, spatial, and sonic properties, highlighting the simulacrum-like daily life. The simulacrum, which implies ''loss of the original'' and ''replication of the copy'', has the nature of difference and repetition and prominently appears in contemporary daily life. Based on this theoretical background, this researcher interpreted the absurdity and infinity of repetition in 『Waiting for Godot』 as simulacrum-like daily life, and furthermore, attempted to construct and embody the character ''Lucky'' as a simulacrum-like character.
To thoroughly analyze the simulacrum-like daily life, the researcher studied the theoretical background of the simulacrum, and in the process of constructing Lucky as a simulacrum-like character, the researcher derived three characteristics: ''1. Robotic Lucky with mechanical habits due to repetitive behavior'', ''2. Lucky revealing human instincts through responses to external situations'', and ''3. A.I. Lucky revealing linguistic limits''. To embody these, the physical acting methodology of Ruth Zaporah''s Action Theater was introduced. During Zaporah''s improvisation training, the researcher introduced ''the training of the person who makes sounds and moves'', ''endlessly speaking and walking training'', and ''prop training'', and derived the characteristics of ''meterializing Lucky''s behavior through the spontaneity of movement'' and ''Lucky''s simulacrum-like character constructed through the transformation of the materiality of objects''.
This study might be significant in that it examines the characteristics of the simulacrum-like daily life in 『Waiting for Godot』 and verifies the process of creating Lucky''s simulacrum-like character through actual production.
