While Goethe’s massive original places Faust at the center of the philosophical, social, and political questions of his era, questions still evocative in the twenty-first century, it also figures “women” into the gendered field of Enlightenment rationality, the field of (white, European, propertied) humanist “Man.” This adaptation inquires into the gender dynamics of Goethe’s work, imagining a counter voice to his “eternal feminine,” a voice freeing itself from a logic of extrinsic desire.
Faust 2.0 is a co-production with the experimental theatre company Mabou Mines.

Famous as the inaugurating success of Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, Anton Chekhov's The Seagull undertakes a pinpoint anatomy of the brutality of artistic ambition, and a remarkably sensitive and self-reflexive examination of the "realistic" milieu of which Chekhov was an acknowledged master.
