Mefisto for ever
[Theatre]
One of the main figures of the Flemish scene, Guy Cassiers is used to mixing drama, media and technology. In his Triptyque du pouvoir (A Triptych on Power), he explores the ins and outs of political power, echoing the situation of today’s Flanders.
Mefisto for Ever is an adaptation of Klaus Mann’s Mefisto : Portrait of a Career (1936) which describes the rise of a comedian in Hitlerian Germany. A Faustian parable, Tom Lanoye’s play investigates the links between art and politics.
