Woyzeck Barbara Horvath, Florian Von Manteuffel, Franziska Hackl, Max Rothbart, Michael Wachter, Nicola Mast

One of the most important dramas in the German language, Georg Büchner’s fragile fragment is based on the case of the soldier J.Ch. Woyzeck, who stabbed his lover to death in 1824. Büchner explores the question of our dependence on social conditions, while also addressing the role of individual freedom and of fatalistic determination in our lives. (Naxos)
