About the performance:
«Faust» is a shadow-theme of the AKHE theatre. Engineers have already turned to the medieval legend of the warlock, who signed a contract with the devil: in the mid-2000s, the dilogy «Faust³ 2360» words and «Faust in a cube» was released. In 2018 the kinematic drama «Faust 3.0» appeared in the repertoire of the POROKH-space, in which the hero’s ambition to comprehend everything in the world turned into a desire to construct the perfect machine. The literary basis was the «reincarnation» of the text written by Maksim Isaev for «Signature» based on Johann Shpis’s «Folk Book». Performance in the POROKH-space developed, ideas accumulated, new mechanisms appeared. Finally, it became apparent that in the chamber space these ideas and machinery became crowded. Therefore AKHE decided to create a street version.
