Adapted and directed by Aris Biniaris
From 13 March 2025

Faust, the medieval legend that Goethe laboured over for six decades, is one of the great masterpieces of world theatre. The play tells the story of an educated but discontented man searching for a deeper purpose in his life. Despondent at the realisation of his own insignificance, Faust strikes a bargain with Mephistopheles, selling him his soul in exchange for unlimited knowledge and earthly pleasures. With his help, he becomes young again and falls in love with Margarete, but their relationship ends in tragedy.

It is a thrilling work about the fierce conflict between the body and the spirit, experience and knowledge, and the Apollonian and the Dionysian. It delves into the agonising struggle to find meaning in existence and seek redemption. Assisted by an extraordinarily talented team of cast and creatives, Aris Biniaris delivers a characteristically electrifying production in which the music takes centre stage.
