Originally born as acting company in 2002, CERCLE has over time developed into different directions by gradually moving away from traditional artistic spaces and creating installations-performances and events linked to the concepts of site-specificity and multidisciplinary approach.
Inspired by the tragedy of
the same name, Woyzeck is an artistic event which changes at each occurrence.
It is open to all contemporary forms of expression and to their experimentation
in spaces of historical and cultural interest of the place in which it is
hosted, through interventions specifically built in the area (site-specific)
of artists, individuals and associations which carries with it or which meets
on the spot.
The active participation
of the hosting site manipulates the more intimate expressive codes, generating
the ideal conditions to provide a common language between artist and audience,
alternative to that of the cultural elite and the entertainment industry.
Woyzeck is a drama that
remains unfinished and unrealised,with lack on the assemblage of the scenes
within the sequences due to the early death of its author, the scientist and
revolutionary Georg Bϋchner (1813-1837).
The peculiarities of the text, the exceptional appropriation of a humble barber, unique so far, instead of a protagoinist as a noble or a hero, a man marked by a language "drastically inadequate to the depth of his torment" (George Steiner, The Death of the tragedy, 1961), and the consequent inabilty to arrive at a logical self-definition, the sinking into a world dominated by chaos, make of Woyzeck a text structurally open to a contemporary theater (a kind of theater devoted to the multidisciplinary nature), constantly redefined in search of expressive codes and places, far from those institutions that do not take into account the historical evolution and are likely to suffocate in the rigidity of their structures, to continue to express the need for its survival.
