" I believe that if we went to heaven, we would have to help with the thunder. "

 

The impoverished soldier Franz Woyzeck is barely able to provide his girlfriend Marie and their newborn child with even the most basic necessities. Desperate, he works as a medical patient for a doctor and as a henchman for a captain.
Both humiliate Woyzeck terribly and ruthlessly exploit his financial hardship.
A drum major courts Marie, and, lured by the prospect of a better life, she enters into an affair with him. Meanwhile, Woyzeck suffers from hallucinations and hears voices. Marie's infidelity drives him to a frenzy, and in a jealous rage, he stabs her to death.

Julian Dietz and Nils Höddinghaus have developed their own unique version and form of Woyzeck from Büchner's fragment, enriching it above all with surprising music, sounds, voices, and noises.
They masterfully slip into all the roles of the play and surprise with their own interpretation.
