Dominique-Horwitz-Solo based on "Faust I" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The scholar Heinrich Faust finds "the cursed here and now" worthless. He makes a bet with the devil. Driven by a thirst for knowledge, a desire for pleasure, and insatiable longing, he plunges into a devilish witch ride, a journey into the human abyss. At the end of the journey, Faust's beloved Gretchen and her child are dead, and the world formula is not found. So far, so familiar.

The legendary life story of Dr. Johann Faust. In every century, the material retains its unbreakable relevance: the constant driven nature of the modern world, the acceleration, the compulsion for constant self-optimization, more mindfulness, more climate protection, the church in a deep crisis. The figure of Faust would be just as unhappy in the 21st century as he was in his own time. A critique of the "non-development" of society?

Dominique Horwitz takes the audience on a journey through the infinite expanses of the Goethe universe: from nature to culture, from Greek mythology in the Middle Ages to the Anthropocene, a new age: ours.
