About This Show

Denver’s LIDA Project presents The Anonymous Mr. W, created in collaboration by The LIDA Project and directed by Brian Freeland.

Inspired by Georg Büchner’s unfinished masterpiece, Woyzeck, The LIDA Project reinterprets the story of a young soldier returning from the horrors of war. Reality bends in the unsteady world of this soldier’s mind as he grapples with a society in which he no longer belongs.

Originally written in the 1830’s and never finished, Büchner left modern literature with one of its first anti-heroes. This is the portrait of an Everyman who descends into madness and murder. Under the lens of LIDA’s unique blend of ensemble creation and technology backdrop, The Anonymous Mr. W brings this story of war and loss with a vengeance into the post-modern dialogue.
