Wozzeck 2001
Jealousy and a blood-red moon…
…lead to madness and murder. Bold, intense, gripping-and utterly unforgettable. A true 20th century masterpiece.
Synopsis
Act I
Wozzeck, a lowly soldier, astounds his Captain with a Biblical defense of his common-law marriage to Marie and of their illegitimate young son. Mentally unstable, Wozzeck hallucinates about the menace of a setting sun. To help support his family, he allows himself to be the guinea pig in a doctor’s unorthodox experiments. Marie meanwhile has been flirting with a dashing Drum Major whom she invites to seduce her.
