Woyzeck by Georg Büchner
A New Adaptation by Matthew Jared Lee
Using the original german text and inspiration from 6 different translations, I wrote and directed a brand-new adaptation of Büchner's Woyzeck. Using information about the real Franz Woyzeck case that the play was inspired from, this new adaptation was set inside a mental asylum ran by The Doctor character. Through this new adaptation, opportunities were sought out to apply practical elements of Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty.
*Completed as final thesis project for the M.F.A. in Directing program at the University of Portland.
