Take part: We are Faust! In cultural summer 2024

an interactive theater experience as part of the cultural summer 2024

The cultural summer 2024 in the city of Bergisch Gladbach promises an innovative and rousing theater experience: "We are Faust!" on August 15, 2024 will be performed on the historic Zander site, on the Gohrsmühle 25. With this production, not only the classic theater performance is reinterpreted, but also the peculiarity of the interactive inclusion of viewers is implemented.

theater as a community experience

The piece "We are fist!" is presented unconventively - the spectators actively slip into the role of the protagonist Faust. With this extraordinary approach, the audience moves between different stations of the Zanders area, where the story is unfolded. This not only promotes participation, but also questions basic ethical questions such as responsibility and decisions. The viewers decide which story of action they want to follow - either from Mephista or St. Michael - and thus experience a personal and joint discussion with the topics of life.
