WOYZECK
Spotlights lie scattered across the floor, a fog machine quietly churns out vapours, cables and microphones hang from the ceiling. Here and there, individual beams of light cast strips onto the dark stage, which is equipped with the desk of a criminal mastermind and a boom box. And yet, all of this began as a scholarly lecture on the philological and legal background of the WOYZECK material. As well as on sanity and accountability. At what point does a dissertation on this subject turn into the subject itself? Where it confronts us instead of us confronting it? And who can be held responsible? A WOYZECK production that wraps up the series as it penetrates to the core of the play by keeping as much distance as possible.
