Faust 3 by Bread & Puppet Theater

In Cambridge Massachusetts, 2017

 

"After Faust 2's contract with the devil came to an end -- because the quest had been fulfilled and satisfaction had been achieved -- Faust 2 died. But the demand for more light which Goethe issued at his own death requires a new model of Faust, an actor in the history of light, a conspirator who pursues the disordering of the existing order of life, & sides with the Proletariat's demand for the radicalization of leisure. Gargoyles are employed to manage the uneasy masses. Both devil & angel, disguised as undercover agents, accompany Faust 3's journey through the mess of the modern empire all the way to the glorious final appearance of the Here." (Bread & Puppet)
