Lower East Side Woyzeck Leanora Lange
About This Show
You get dizzy if you try to look into that abyss: Into those holes in the Lower East Side asphalt. Into a person. Into Woyzeck. This new take on Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck sets a fresh translation in today’s Lower East Side. Taking its cue from the razors and knives in the text and the lack of a distinct scene order for this unfinished play, the audience determines the sequence of the scenes, cutting from one to the other as Woyzeck becomes overwhelmed by powers of poverty, indifference, violence, and love.
