Josef Nadj comes to Nagyharsány with his legendary piece, Woyzeck. "Szkipe" (/skɪpe/, the nickname of Nadj) from Vojvodina founded the JEL Színház (SIGN Theatre) in 1986, which became world famous, thus it is not by chance that he became the artistic director of the Avignon Festival in 2006 and he was awarded with the European Theatre Award by the European Commission in the same year. Josef Nadj started his career in fine arts, he draws, photographs and shoots films for his pieces regularly; during the Devil's Cauldron, he'll join the "speak of the devil" project to paint the story of the devil's legend on the wall of the local history museum.
In the Woyzeck, no single word or sound is spoken. Georg Büchner's famous fragmentary texts are shaped into images, the images form into processes and actions. The performance was first introduced in March 1994 at the Theatre National de Bretagne, Rennes, France. It won the audience award at the BITEF Festival in Belgrade in 1998 and was awarded with the Golden Mask Award for the best foreign performance in Moscow in 2002.
