Faust

Work:: Faust (S3259)

The legend of a man whose obsession leads him to part with his everlasting soul.

Production:: (T01251676861)

Freely adapted after Goethe. What would you do to achieve absolute enlightenment? Meet the man who makes the ultimate sacrifice in his search for infinite knowledge. Meet Faust. Obsessed by a fear of growing old and driven by a vampire-like lust for life our protagonist makes a pact with the mannequin-like Mephistopheles, a bizarre androgenous creature. In fact, the devil. Performed in Romanian with English supertitles. Silviu Purcarete's wild adaptation of this iconic tale is a large scale work with industrial music, pantomime, remarkable staging and a huge cast. Prepare to be assaulted by a vision of base instincts as you're drawn (literally) into Faust's apocalyptic nightmare of life and death. Please note this performance contains adult content and nudity.
