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.


Woyzeck places the artists, audience and the site on the same floor and scene, generating a shared experience that nullifies the sense of each other's alienation and reconfigures the social use of the space and of the artistic practice in a collective and participatory dimension.


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.
