An original theatrical adaptation after Christopher Marlowe
Doctor Faustus is an ambitious, solitary, and intelligent young man. Having completed his university studies, he longs to penetrate the realm of true knowledge and finally become successful. So, even in the 21st century, he enters, although by proxy, into a pact with the Devil. Together, Faustus and Mephistopheles journey through a territory of worldly pleasures many would long to experience: fast cars, money, women; yet they are often frustratingly denied by circumstance. This original text, interwoven with songs and inspired by Marlowe’s tragicomedy, revisits a canonical story that reminds us how seductive offers of seemingly easy solutions may lead us, proverbially, straight to hell.
The project was supported by the AMU Foundation and the Foundation Život umělce. The production was created in co-production with the theatre Fénix and NotDis.
