FAUSTUS
Faustus has exhausted the possibilities of this world. He’s acquired every type of knowledge, every kind of power, and he’s still not satisfied. So he makes a deal with the devil. Because he wants more. But what does that mean? And where does it lead?
This show incorporates dance and painting to express the longing and loneliness at the heart of the human experience and the desperate action one man will take to stave off this inevitability.
The real star of the show is the director Ilinca Radulian. Her work is inspired, turning a classic Elizabethan drama into a modern piece that combines theatre and performance art.
It was a visual masterpiece daringly executed by Ilinca Radulian and her inspired designers and actors.
