exploring the dark sides of civilisation

In Glad Theatre’s version of WOYZECK, words have lost their meaning and through powerful choreographic images the five performers portray the tragic love story of Woyzeck and Marie, the loneliness of the Captain and the Drum Major’s playing for hope.

In a constant battle for supremacy, our characters fight each other and the brutal reality they are in. They have lost their humanity and as beasts they struggle for survival in a world they do not control. One by one, the characters are thrown into a dance of desire, domination, and death – and as they drown in blood, they reach for a tiny glimpse of hope and reshape this classic play into an intensely moving and disturbing piece of theatre.
