Although the story of Wozzeck, which is based on Georg Büchner’s impressive dramatic fragment Woyzeck, is set on the margins of society, it also shows its most profound core. It is a merciless, egotistical world where the individual becomes a victim of a hollow morality, science and cheap pleasure.
