Buchner's "Woyzeck" by Axis Theatre Company

Beginning from Büchner's terminal fever while writing the play, Axis replays the story of his common world's transformation into the nightmarish horror of Woyzeck's planet. The population of the author's daily life is re-born in each character of the play: his father becomes the captain who torments him, his wife a prostitute, an irritating passerby becomes his arch rival, his son an adult cypher. On the barren surface of his memory Büchner is forced to live out his last moments surrounded by monsters of his own creation. Randy Sharp, Director; Filmed by Mott Hupfel, with Robert Ierardi, Laurie Kilmartin, John Murphy, Jim Sterling, Joe Menino, Brian Barnhart, Sue Ann Molinell
