Handspring Puppet Company
Directed by William Kentridge
For this collaboration between South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company and renowned artist William Kentridge, animated film, live performances, South African-inspired music, and wood puppets are used to present an adaptation of German writer Georg Buchner’s famous, unfinished play of jealousy, murder, and the struggle of an individual against an uncaring society which eventually destroys him. In this version, Woyzeck is a migrant worker in 1956 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Lovely website! I am loving it!
Too right Woyzeck will return mate =Das much as i would love to pfreorm it on the stage in the Lpac, i’d have to agree with everyone when they say it works really really well as promenade. just the whole tension that is created when the audience follow Woyzeck’s trouble around, it might seem like they are part of the society that is pushing Woyzeck into this oblivion.It would be AMAZING if we could pfreorm it somewhere like the castle but lets be realistic i very much doubt they’d give use complete freedom of the castle that wont stop us trying though i’m sure! if we can’t pfreorm it at the castle there are plent of things we could do else where. for instance imagine if we could find an abandond building somewhere (obvisouly a safe place where we wont get stabbed) and do it like in a strange place that wouldn’t be usually used for a pfreormance. lets aim high for this guys!!
