Genetik Woyzeck, Harriet Maria & Peter Meining

In the organizer's words:

A video conference with a fatal outcome based on Georg Büchner

"Genetics Woyzeck. A video conference with a fatal outcome based on Georg Büchner" was staged by Harriet Maria & Peter Meining aka norton.commander.productions. 1997 at the Festspielhaus Hellerau. "Only a white couch on stage. The only actor in the flesh, Lars Rudolph, has taken a seat on it. He plays Woyzeck - the rest is fiction. He films himself intimately with a micro-camera - which is shown on monitors in the auditorium. His opponents do not appear in the flesh, but are banished to two huge screens as living images. They are stars of the media world." - According to SPIEGEL at the time, the production "focuses on the fictional relationship between people and the media, including its stars".

28 years after its premiere, Harriet Maria & Peter Meining are reviving this groundbreaking production, including the new questions raised by "the fictional relationship between people and the media" in the age of AI, populism and "fake news". In addition to Lars Rudolph on stage, the film also features Blixa Bargeld, Ben Becker, Frank Castorf, Nick Cave, Dietmar Diesner, Herbert Fritsch, Irm Hermann, Udo Lindenberg, Markus Lüpertz, Joachim Maaz, Eva Mattes, Rebecca Meining, Ulrich Meyer, Dr. Motte, Pigor und Eichhorn, Uwe Preuss, Heinz Rennhack, Hans Scheuerecker, Christoph Schlingensief, Alexander Schröder, Hanna Schygulla, Otto Sander, Bert Stephan, Alan Vega, Ulrich Wildgruber, Martin Wuttke.
