Experience a profound exploration of Germany's national epic with the performance of Goethe: Faust 1 by the Fliegende Volksbühne Frankfurt. This unique presentation features Michael Quast and Philipp Mosetter, offering a humorous and insightful interpretation of Goethe's masterpiece.

Quast and Mosetter delve into the question of why Faust I has survived when so much of Goethe's work was lost to the flames of his own literary purges. The performance showcases the duality of human nature, as expressed in Goethe's text: 'Two souls, alas, reside within my chest.' With Quast embodying multiple characters (including 19 roles in the famous Easter walk) and Mosetter providing commentary and stage design, the stage transforms into a battleground of ideas and interpretations.

The legendary production, originally staged in the Goethe year of 1999, has stood the test of time and has been broadcast on 3sat and ZDF-Theaterkanal. Viewers can expect a serious examination of weighty themes delivered with a light-hearted touch, ensuring that even the most learned Goethe enthusiasts can enjoy a good laugh.

Join us for an introductory session at 19:15 before the main performance begins at 20:00.
