Faust - ein ewiges Prinzip
An interdisciplinary theater-music project

"So give me back the times,
when I was still in the process of becoming,
when a spring of condensed songs
was being born anew unceasingly,
when fog veiled the world for me,
the bud still promised wonders,
when I broke the thousand blossoms
that richly filled all valleys!
I had nothing and yet enough:
The drive for truth and the pleasure of illusion!
Give me back unbridled those impulses,
the deep, painful happiness,
the power of hate, the might of love,
give me my youth back!"
(Faust 1, Prelude, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

In our newly written version "Faust - ein ewiges Prinzip," we adhere to the successful concept of station theater. We present excerpts from the two parts of Goethe's Faust and weave them together with source texts about the historical Faust.

The interdisciplinary theater-music project is scored by the musical director Adrian Rinck. His band "Gretchens Pudel" and a specially assembled local choir accompany the performances.

These will take place at completely different venues - at the Landeck Castle above Klingenmünster, in the courtyards and alleys of the Muscatel village Gleiszellen-Gleishorbach, in and around the Max Slevogthof in Leinsweiler - offered as a round tour where the piece is performed on differently designed stages, in found spaces, and at existing locations.
