Roeslein Rot/Faust

We are currently working on a brand new piece that tackles a German literary heavyweight - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and his famous play 'Faust'. Compulsory in German schools, everyone in Germany can cite at least one of the play's quote that has found its way into everyday's language. We are taking on the challenge to see how much of the play's eternal struggle of good vs evil can be conveyed with the help of physical theatre and non-verbal communication. 

During our research we also stumbled upon Murnau's 1926 cinematic masterpiece; Gustav Grundgens' legendary interpretation of Mephisto and Klaus Mann's very critical novel of the same name. Referencing the classic mime artists - think black bodysuits and white faces - we are playing with gender stereotypes, androgyny and the true meaning of Goethe's famous song 'Heidenroslein'.
