by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe / Director: Jan-Christoph Gockel

"Oh Faust! - The archetype of the citizen who has studied theology, law, medicine and, unfortunately, philosophy, whose love is destruction and who needs broken souls to build his canal!" - said Anton Kuh in a succinct attempt to summarize a work that the poet, for his part, found to be incomplete: Faust II should only be published after his death, so that in the future it would "continue to delight and trouble people." Higher, faster, further - accompanied by the devil, Faust races through the small and big world. Director Jan-Christoph Gockel sets Goethe's "monster" drama on the tracks of a ghost train and focuses particularly on the second part - and with it the clairvoyant, present-day aspects of the play: the exploitation and destruction of people and nature.
