Woyzeck
(Woyzeck)

Georg Buchner would turn 180 this year. He was not immortal,
but his drama, Woyzeck, survived all the shocks of the past
150 years. Woyzeck is alive, walks around among us to show
that the big experiment with outcast of this world is not over.
How far can we got with this experiment? To infinity!
WOYZECK - WOZZEK - VOJCEK - only the name changes,
but the world is eternal, the salvation, the rest is so remote,
so out of reach. The little man forced out on the periphery of
the huge railway station: Woyzeck - a speck of dust of a man,
our Vojcek, in voluntary exile from home, as the guardian of
the switch No 425, spends his service in his tiny shelter... and his life.
