The “madness” has many appearances with the young pathologist Georg Büchner. The poet Lenz, who, like Jesus, wants to bring a dead woman back to life, is just as confused as the soldier Franz Woyzeck, who stabs his beloved out of jealousy; but also some of the death row inmates in “Danton” or King Peter in “Leonce and Lena” are pretty off track. At the end of the original, clever “Woyzeck” overwriting of Glossy Pain at the Theater Mühlheim an der Ruhr, the question arises rather casually as to whether mitigating circumstances can be brought into play for the jealous murderer. There is just as little answer as femicide as such is made visible in the staging.
