This stunning adaptation of Georg Bϋchner’s timeless exploration of sexual jealousy and paranoia explodes with heart-stopping music composed by Nick Cave and the Dirty Three’s violinist Warren Ellis. Michael Kantor’s new production collides anarchic grandeur with a seductive brutality featuring a chorus of villianous angels – led by one of Australia’s seminal rock musicians, Tim Rogers.
