"Faust" is one of the most complex, voluminous and unique performances in design and director's concept in the entire repertoire of the theater. On the Chelyabinsk stage, the famous opera by Charles Gounod received a modern interpretation.

The director leaves space for the viewer in the temporary perception of the plot. Throughout the performance, the characters will visit both the hell of the modern world and the space of absolute timelessness, devoid of the characteristic colors of a particular era.

The performance impresses with its multi-level scenography. On the stage - a building 14 meters wide and over 7 meters high with a floor, ceiling and walls. The most complex scenery is transformed either into a post-apocalyptic space, or into a market square, or into hell.

The opera "Faust" is a mystical and allegorical parable, in the center of which is the philosophical meaning of the plot and the bewitching music of Charles Gounod.
