With the support of
With Faust, Romeo Castellucci once again tackles one of the founding myths of our Western culture. In it, the Italian director becomes an architect of chaos, a means of embracing, to the full, the contradictions of our contemporary world.
"Chaos". This is the first word on the lips of Romeo Castellucci in evoking this Faust without words. A work "with almost no relationship to literature", but whose shadow unmistakably finds its reflection in Goethe’s two-part play, and all the mythology that goes before it. This chaos is that of meaning of things, the nihilistic disappointment with knowledge which, in Faust I, precedes the encounter with Mephistopheles. It is also the chaos of Faust II, this posthumous, bewitching parable in which history, politics, and philosophy become interwoven… What vision will Romeo Castellucci bring us of this vortex-like, monumental, dizzying and prophetic work, and its capacity to herald all the contradictions of our contemporary world? What form of dialogue will this theatrical miracle-worker forge with this mythical figure, and in whom he sees a metaphor for the relationship between the artist and evil? In the ensuing face-off, the one thing we can be certain of is that Mephistopheles will be everywhere and nowhere, both disembodied and devil-like, omnipresent and invisible.
