About the show

The outsider Faust loses the joy of life and wants to take his own life. Mephisto appears and promises him power, happiness and pleasure. As if in a feverish dream, Faust embarks with him on a quest for self-realization. In a world of soldiers, students and fantastic beings, a destructive relationship develops with Marguerite. In order to save her, Faust gives his soul to Mephisto and plunges into hell, while Marguerite finds redemption.
