Faust 1+2+3

PICK OF THE DAY Theater
In the organizer's words:

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Felix Krakaufrom age 14 - premiere on September 15, 2024 - Münsterstraße 446, stage - Junges Schauspiel

"Faust" - the play of plays, school material, an essential part of the Western educational canon and still one of the most frequently performed works on German-speaking stages today. At its center is the polymath Heinrich, who no longer sees any attraction in life and who has also become bored with science. Director and author Felix Krakau illuminates the classic from a young and contemporary perspective: in search of the ultimate thrill, intoxication and ecstasy, Faust enters into a pact with evil - namely Mephisto. He promises Mephisto his soul if he frees him from the tedium of everyday life and helps him to push the boundaries of what is humanly possible. And so the unlikely duo set off on a fast-paced trip, accompanied by ghosts, witches and all sorts of merry companions. The motto is: higher, faster, further! Escaping the world, forgetting the world, devouring the world.
