FauWst — Collectif Bajour

Thus is born Gabriell, a child raised in secret, far from the world. When torn away from this paradise, she sets out on the trail of her parents and discovers a world devastated by techno-fascism, ecological disasters, and shattered utopias. Her initiatory journey then turns into a quest for joy, beauty, and strength to collectively imagine a world different from that of adults.

This reinterpretation of the Faust myth reiterates Goethe's gesture while erasing its virile and romantic dimension. It questions our modern pacts with the Devil: technology, capitalism, destruction of the living world. Created from improvisations and stage writing, the show explores the light and shadow of our desire to create, understand, and mend the world.
