Boichek

Boichek is Büchner's famous novel "Woyzeck" reimagined as cineplay by acclaimed film maker Santosh Sivan.
Now releasing across cultural spaces in Mumbai, brought to you by Harkat Studios.

Woyzeck is a hapless, low-ranking soldier-alone and powerless in the tribal society around him. He earns extra money by taking part in medical experiments, but during one such experiment his mental health begins to deteriorate and he begins to experience a series of apocalyptic visions. Assaulted from all sides by forces he cannot control, Woyzeck takes matters into his own hands when he finds his wife has been sleeping with a another soldier.

Directed by Santosh Sivan.
Starring Rupesh Tillu.

A CinePlay blends the grammar of theatre and cinema. While it retains the core of theatre in terms of the suggestive sets and performances, we use the camera in an unrestricted manner moving with the characters just like it does in cinema. So while it is not merely a recording on the stage of a start to finish performance, it also isn't cinema as we know it. A Q&A will follow the screening.
