Sadari Movement Laboratory KoreaWoyzeck London PremiereDirected by Do-Wan Im Queen Elizabeth Hall, ‘The freshness and beauty of the visual storytelling, backed by the music of Astor Piazzolla, is often breathtaking. The young 12-strong company dance and act like demons, and then like angels.’ The Scotsman 'A profoundly moving interpretation...a sublime combination of precision and fluidity, a remarkable piece of theatre'. British Theatre Guide George Büchner's Woyzeck, based on the true story of a poor German soldier driven by inhuman military discipline to madness and the murder of his mistress, remains one of the most enigmatic, shocking and influential works of modern theatre. In this gripping, stripped-down version from Korea, objects, bodies, movement and space combine to create a dynamic physical and visual language, revealing the characters' emotional states with great clarity and force. Astor Piazzolla's passionate and atmospheric tango music is an integral part of the drama. Founded in 1999, Sadari is one of Korea's best-known young theatre companies. This production was a sell-out hit at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it won a Herald Angel and Total Theatre Award, and has been invited to tour all over the world.
