The FAUST material is centuries old. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "FAUST" is a universe of German poetry and leaves plenty of room for modernity.

Our children, our friends, even our adversaries need "FAUST" for reflections, for recognizing the present – daily, like the air we breathe, like our daily meals! Therefore, a new interpretation like "FAUST ´n´ Roll" is another milestone in the engagement with the magnificent classic by Goethe.

"FAUST ´n´ Roll" was produced based on an idea by Michael Manthey, the managing director of the renowned Manthey Event GmbH and – of course – based on the texts of Johann Wolfgang Goethe. "FAUST ´n´ Roll - Rocktheater nach Goethe" is a touring theater and is also regularly performed on the Brocken as "FAUST auf dem Brocken - Rocktheater nach Goethe".

The subject of "FAUST ´n´ Roll" shows strong influences from the fantasy world of "Steampunk," which has been skillfully woven into the story and the gestures of the characters. "Steampunk" is a role-playing genre where an alternative reality exists to our world of combustion engines and electrical engineering. It is set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is almost frozen in the era of steam engines: Everything works with steam, with rough mechanics, which is reflected in the recurring motif of gears. The people wear technically modified fashion from the Victorian era, top hats, corsets, and tailcoats are characteristic. So are the protagonists from "FAUST ´n´ Roll," who feel comfortable in these wonderful costumes. Just like the play with the layers of time, the costumes also create wonderful jumps through the role world established by Goethe.

The digital stage design enhances the impact of the performance, helps to avoid pyrotechnics, and skillfully blends multimedia with real effects – it gives each scene a special depth. Two LED walls, which can be combined into a single one depending on the scene, serve as a backdrop and pillars of the stage design.
The performers of "FAUST ´n´ Roll" are all professionals in the musical business and the stage musicians are a highly professional live band that plays soft rock ballads as passionately as dance-inducing pop songs and bombastic stadium rock anthems.

With wit and charm, catchy tunes and hits, special effects, and great acting and singing skills, "FAUST ´n´ Roll" has breathed new life into the classic as "Rocktheater nach Goethe" and will inspire many future generations with this timeless material.
