The first collaboration between artist William Kentridge and the Handspring Puppet Company transposes Büchner’s tale to 1950s South Africa. A migrant worker struggles to survive in a callous, inhospitable, urban landscape, portrayed in this multi-media work featuring hand-carved puppets, animated film and haunting music.

Running time: 90 mins / no interval
