Woyzeck is a good man,  Woyzeck eats peas, Woyzeck is an abyss, Woyzeck kills Marie. That's how the story goes, supposedly inevitably. But does this model work?  A modern Woyzeck - one who seeks virtual authority in online men's forums and pick-up artist courses, who allows himself to be fed images of masculinity and protein shakes by a professor. Someone who desperately longs for intimacy and yet is actively splitting off from his humanity, piece by piece.

In our retelling, we examines the drama fragment for its contemporary relevance and explore masculinity, loneliness, tenderness and violence. Every human is an abyss - and when you stare into it, the abyss stares back.
