‘Dance On Screen’ Series: Faust (Stage Performance Screening) by Ballett Dortmund (Germany)

Into the magical world of the ancient human parable

Faust has acquired all the knowledge but cannot find satisfaction.  At the moment of becoming aware of it, he is getting the sense of emptiness and imperfection. He wants to reach the limits of reality and to exceed them. In the book of folk tales Historia of Doctor Faustus (1587), the biography of the historical person is mixed with legends and superstition: Everybody who aspires to cognition be warned: God keeps his cards close to his chest…

In 1808, Goethe creates a play of thirst for knowledge and longing for redemption out of the sensational legend. 

After his much-noticed choreographic interpretations of significant works such as War and Peace and Hamlet, Xin Peng Wang takes the audience with his new narrative ballet into the magical and mystical world of the ancient human parable.
