(Click the images to see a larger version)

Under William Kentridge¹s biting direction, this brilliant piece of total theater examines the South African apartheid regime through the findings of the Truth Commission. Combining animation, live actors, puppetry, and documentary footage, Kentridge and Handspring have created an astonishing piece of total theater, hailed as "an undisputed triumph." Handspring¹s Woyzeck on the Highveld was a hit of the 1994 International Festival.
