OUT-CAST Woyzeck. Dance!

OUT-CAST - Woyzeck. Dance! is a contemporary dance duo inspired by Georg Büchner's drama Woyzeck. Woyzeck as a starting point, as a source of inspiration, as a historical prototype of a social outsider.

Woyzeck is our outcast, he loses control of his body and his mind. In the end, he turns from victim to murderer. We transfer Büchner's drama to what we consider to be the social drama of our time: Migration.

We translate this story into a choreographic language based on the idea of the dysfunctional body: the body that no longer follows you, whose limbs take on a life of their own, that twitches and gets caught up in endless repetitions and loops. A piece in fragments, each of the two dancers can slip into any role at any time, they can be perpetrators or victims. The world seen through the perception of someone who has fallen out of it.

OUT-CAST - Woyzeck. Dance! is about those who, like Woyzeck, live on the margins of society, just like many migrants today. With no money and no prospects for the future, they often increasingly lose touch with reality and turn from victims to perpetrators. OUT-CAST - Woyzeck. Dance! is about the search for happiness and the impossibility of achieving it.
