textabstractAt the conclusion of Kristof Bilsen’s Elephant’s Dream , one is reminded of\udthe famous comment of the Irish literary critic Vivian Mercier about Samuel\udBeckett’s Waiting for Godot: a work, he said, that “has achieved a theoretical\udimpossibility—a play in which nothing happens, that yet keeps audiences\udglued to their seats.” The glue in this case is provided by the poignant and\udat times haunting portrayals of three floor-level civil servants working in the\udDemocratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Henriette, a post office counter\udclerk in the country’s capital, Kinshasa; Lieutenant Kasunga, a chief fire\udofficer in Kinshasa; and Simon, a train station officer at Kisantu in Kongo\udCentral Province
