Iris Stromberger directs Goethe's masterpiece

The stage is ready, the curtain rises, and the air is vibrating with anticipation. The Festspiel Heppenheim is celebrating its 50th anniversary. What could be more worthy of this occasion than to bring Goethe's immortal work FAUST I to the stage?

Under the direction of Iris Stromberger, the “Tragödie erster Teil” comes to life anew. The St. Peter Church in Heppenheim, affectionately called the “Heppenheimer Dom,” becomes the setting for this epic drama. Here, between the stone walls, the timeless story of Dr. Heinrich Faust unfolds, the scholar who seeks knowledge and meaning.

Faust and the questions of life – particularly relevant today “Where do I come from? Where am I going? What is the meaning of existence?” These questions that plague Faust are also our own. In a world permeated by science, faith, and human desire, Faust struggles with the spirits of his time. Is it the divine spark that drives us, or earthly pleasure? Who will triumph in the end?

The musical accompaniment filling the Dom adds a special intensity to the drama. The sounds float through the gothic arches and capture the souls of the audience.
