By Silviu Purcarete
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.
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. agony and ecstasy in a land of orgies, torture and murder.
the cast includes ilie Gheorghe as Faust, ofelia Popii as mephistopheles
and over 100 actors and musicians. a section of this production
is promenade.
