The Woyzeck Theory,

About the event

"What governs humanity to commit inhumane acts? When people look intoWoyzeck’s eyes they do not see an equal. They see an uneducated,unhoused, unethical dog. A man attempting to be human while standing onthe brink of destruction. With social economic equality on the declineand an ever widening gap between the rich and a new underclass, wepresent a theory which maybe the answer to a number of questions thatlie on the lips of society today. The Woyzeck Theory examines our ownhumanity in detail while paying homage to Brecht’s learning plays withthe use of song and dramatic text."
