Everything progresses: a horse, a monkey, a canary bird. Do you want to be more than dust, sand and dirt? Observe the progress of civilization. Man - you are created of dust, sand and dirt. Gentlemen this animal that you see here, with a tail on his body, with his four hooves, is a member of all learned societies, professor of our university, with whom the students learn to ride and fight. The monkey is already a soldier - that is not much, it is the lowest level of the human race! The little dummy is musical. You can drive out nature with a pitchforkĬarnival Announcer: " Gentlemen, now see the effect of art. There's no milk at the bottom of the pail Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Look at this creature, as God made it: nothing, nothing at all. ( Woyzeck theatre version, 2000: Carnival Announcer with entire cast in prologue) (1)Ĭarnival Announcer: " Ladies and gentlemen here you see the astronomical horse and the two little canary birds - favorites of all potentates and of all crowned heads, tell the people everything, how old, how many children, what illnesses."
