FAUST´n´Roll - Rocktheater nach Goethe - Tour 2025
The FAUST material is centuries old. Goethe's "FAUST" is a universe of German poetry and leaves plenty of room for modernity.
Our children, our friends, even our adversaries need "FAUST" for reflections, for recognizing the present - daily, like the air we breathe, like our daily meals! Therefore, a new interpretation like "FAUST 'n' Roll" is another milestone in the engagement with Goethe's magnificent classic.
"FAUST 'n' Roll" was produced based on an idea by Michael Manthey, the managing director of the renowned Manthey Event GmbH and - of course - based on the texts of Johann Wolfgang Goethe. "FAUST 'n' Roll - Rock theater after Goethe" is a touring theater and is also regularly performed on the Brocken as "FAUST on the Brocken - Rock theater after Goethe."
The subject of "FAUST 'n' Roll" shows strong influences from the fantasy world of "Steampunk," expertly woven into the story and the demeanor of the characters. "Steampunk" is a role-playing genre in which an alternative reality exists to our world of internal combustion engines and electrical engineering. It is set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is almost frozen in the era of steam engines: everything operates on steam, with crude mechanics, reflected in the ever-recurrent motif of gears. People wear technically modified fashion from the Victorian era, with top hats, corsets, and frock coats being stylistically defining. So too the protagonists from "FAUST 'n' Roll," who feel comfortable in these wonderful costumes. Just like the play with the time levels, the costumes also create wonderful jumps through the role world inherited from Goethe.
The digital stage design enhances the impact of the performance, helps to avoid pyrotechnics, and cleverly mixes multimedia with real effects - it gives each scene a special depth. Two LED walls, which can be combined into a single one depending on the scene, serve as the backdrop and pillars of the stage design.
The performers of "FAUST 'n' Roll" are all full professionals in the musical business, and the stage musicians are a highly professional live band that plays soft rock ballads just as captivatingly as dance-inspiring pop songs and bombastic stadium rock anthems.
With wit and charm, catchy tunes and popular hits, special effects, and great acting and singing talent, "FAUST 'n' Roll" has breathed new life into the classic as "Rock theater after Goethe" and will continue to captivate many future generations with this timeless material.
