About the Event
Adapted by Rody Vera from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s infamous Romantic tragic masterpiece and directed by José Estrella, Faust follows the story of a man’s deal with the devil. The play opens in heaven where the devil, Mephistopheles, wagers with God that he can corrupt his most virtuous servant Faust. What follows in the play is a series of events that questions our preconceived notions of justice, rationality and morality.
