Muzyka w głowie albo kto nie ma pieniędzy
Music in the Head: He Who Has No Money

Summary/Abstract: A review of Barbara Wysocka’s production of Woyzeck/Wozzeck (the Munich Kammerspiele, prem: 30 IX 2012). The author argues that the director has assembled onstage two perfectly matching components: George Büchner’s play and Alban Berg’s musical setting. In Wysocka’s production, Büchner’s pompous statements sound convincing, contemporary and moving because, according to the reviewer, the characters emerge through sentences and individual words that form a mere surface level under which a genuine abyss lurks. By employing such resources, Wysocka shows a convincing contemporary story of a poor man excluded from society, who is at the mercy of the voices in his head.
