How we tricked Mephisto

Premiere 09.29.2016. UK VUK scene KULT

We live in a time of political turbulence, competition and struggle, wars, new technologies, making heavy weather, when the creative potential of independent contemporary artists is marginalized.Concept was developed as a challenge to explore three authors and their works of fiction: Orwell's 1984, Zamyatin's WE and Goethe's Faust. The project explores the burning question of redefining the concept of freedom in the future. Open interaction between artists and audience poses questions which, in return, define scene order and the dynamics of performance.

The show premiered at 17th Bitef Polyphony, 50 BITEF
