Goethe's World Poem as a Great Stage Promise in Memmingen

On September 25, 2026, the curtain will rise in the Great House of the Schwaben State Theater for Faust. A Tragedy – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's century text in a new staging by Sarah Kohrs. The work, originally conceived as the first part of the tragedy, leads from the hunger for knowledge into a dangerous alliance with Mephisto and into the spiritual drama around Gretchen.

The Pull of the Drama

Faust remains a subject of unbroken force: a scholar between world hunger and self-loss, a pact with the devil, a love that means salvation and doom at the same time. It is precisely this mixture of metaphysical questions and human vulnerability that makes the piece a stage event that resonates with every generation anew. Goethe's verse speaks today of greed, temptation, guilt, and the search for meaning.

What Characterizes this Faust Evening

The preliminary reporting promises not a museum classic, but a lively stage experience with societal tension. Faust's restlessness, Mephisto's seductive art, and Gretchen's fragility form the core of a human drama that thrives on the theater atmosphere of light, language, and emotional intensity. It is precisely in this that the strength of this evening lies: it not only presents a famous story but the dark modernity of a person who can never get enough.
