Faust von Johann Wolfgang Goethe

In the organizer's words:

Faust
by Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Ten years of Faust at Theater Essen-Süd!

Premiere: 01.11.2014

Gretchen is dead. Faust wants to forget. Mephisto wants to remember. The two main characters are at the center of an increasingly complicated status game. One bet, two great powers. Good and evil? A part of the part?... A part of the force that always wants evil and always creates good. In the repertoire for seven years and after over a hundred performances, the production has lost none of its power and topicality - quite the opposite. Time rolls like a stone down a mountain and you don't know where it's going or where you are. Pour in, Mephisto, for the next dance of death on Gretchen's grave. Curtain up for purgatory.
