FAUST. FRAGMENT
Experience an evening of theater with live songs and magical transformations - a play based on J.W. Goethe with minimal effort and maximum effect. The most contemporary work of German classicism, a musical-theatrical devil's ride - performed with virtuosity by Konstantin Sarantopoulos in 60 minutes.
Although written almost 200 years ago, it is a parable about modern man. The respected scientist, researcher and professor Doctor Faust is dissatisfied with his fate and tries to kill himself with poison. His quest reflects the universal question of the meaning of life and the pursuit of truth.
Goethe worked on FAUST for almost 60 long years. During his lifetime, he kept his "very serious jokes" with over 160 roles and almost 7500 verses hidden away in a drawer.
