Goethe's masterpiece reinterpreted: A gripping play about two souls in one breast. Experience the condensation of "Faust I and II" in a unique production at the Salzburg State Theatre.
Goethe’s masterpiece "Faust" is brought to the stage in an innovative new production by Carl Philip von Maldeghem. The performance combines "Faust I and II" into a single evening, distilling the complex material down to its essence. The focus is on the dual identity of Faust and Mephisto, interpreted as two sides of one person: Faust as the restless scholar striving for absolute knowledge and creative power, and Mephisto as the cunning tempter who playfully transgresses boundaries.
The staging reduces the plot to four characters to make the central conflicts and themes of the work intensely palpable. With a duration of approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, including an intermission, the performance is aimed at visitors aged 14 and above. A pre-show introduction is offered to facilitate access to the play.
