Faust
Dance, acting, and music by Den Sorte Skole come together in a contemporary interpretation of the myth of humanity’s pact with the devil. Victor Marcussen and five dancers from Holstebro Teater give physical form to desire and the pursuit of power in a performance for young people and adults.
Desire becomes a trap in a reinterpretation of Goethe’s timeless classic
FAUST is a free interpretation of the myth of humanity’s pact with the devil: an intense, sensory performance in which dance, acting, and music merge into a story of desire and power.
The collaboration between choreographer Esther Lee Wilkinson and director and playwright Thure Lindhardt creates a theatrical language brought to life by music by Den Sorte Skole and actor Victor Marcussen. He appears on stage alongside five dancers from Holstebro Teater’s dance company.
The body becomes the center of the story, and dance speaks where words fall short. The audience is invited into a space where the drive for “more and more” becomes a fatal trap. Faust’s struggle with the devil mirrors our own times: the pursuit of freedom, the longing for power, and the price we pay to get what we want.
FAUST is a visual experience for young people and adults who want to feel the power of the myth in a contemporary, physical interpretation.
