FaustX — a contemporary, surreal staging of Goethe's Dr Faustus exploring ambition, colonial economies and control
Met Darion Adams, Liezl de Kock, Iman Isaacs, Sophie Joans, Siphenathi Mayekiso, Toni Morkel 'n Ontstellende, surrealistiese drama oor menslike strewe, versoeking en onbeheerste ambisie. Hierdie 21ste-eeuse dr.
Faustus, gedryf deur 'n onversadigbare honger om 'n innerlike leegte met betekenis te vul, sluit 'n ooreenkoms met Mefistofeles en bevind hom op 'n pad van uitbreiding, innovasie en beheer: Hy karring in die ekonomieë van die Globale Suide, orkestreer oorlogspeletjies en droom daaroor om baas te speel oor die natuur, die samelewing en selfs verre planete.
Die produksie is gegrond op die tweede deel van Goethe se meesterwerk en is weer in Suid-Afrika op die planke ná 'n baie suksesvolle wêreldtoer.

******************************************************************************************************************************* With Darion Adams, Liezl de Kock, Iman Isaacs, Sophie Joans, Siphenathi Mayekiso, Toni Morkel A surreal and startling drama about human striving, temptation and uncontrollable ambition.
Driven by an unrelenting hunger to fill an inner void with meaning, a 21st century Dr Faustus makes a deal with Mephisto and pursues a path of expansion, innovation, and control: dabbling in the economies of the Global South, orchestrating war games, and reaching for mastery over nature, society, and even distant planets. Based on the second part of Goethe's masterpiece. This work returns to South Africa after a highly successful world tour.
