Since 2013, this spectacular and profound performance has remained immensely popular, and in 2026 Goethe's Faust continues to be a firm fixture in the former prison.
Kaser and Schorn approach the mystery in this still timely production by Marc Günther in a completely relaxed manner:
The play begins simply as a Goethe reading, but soon the characters take on a life of their own and the story pulls the two actors into its vortex. With simple means, they transform at breakneck speed into Faust and Mephisto, Gretchen and Famulus Wagner, from the suspicious dog and anxious brother to the reckless Marthe, to sea cats and witches…
And this is just a drop of purgatory!
