The Woyzeck-performance of Krétakör is an experiment: we tested the limits of ourselves and our acting tools, we tried to discover new means of theatrical expression, theatrical language. Our aim was not the reconstruction of Büchners' fragment rather its re-creation in our own language. We preferred the discovery of the deep currents below the story, the grasping of the hidden essence of it to the narration.
