            (2014), Hypatia (2015), "R.U.R. Rossum’s Universal Robots"
              (2016) in the form of plays, and a video last year,
            "Ramanujan"(2017), this year the school presents another
            video, freely
          inspired by Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for
            Godot", and will raise a number of issues such as the
          impact the digital era has on our present and future lives and
          the potential danger of technology on humankind in general.
        
The video
            "Godot" will be screened at the ICTP TODAY,  12 April 2018
