Goethe’nin bilginin arayışı hakkındaki trajedisinden esinlenen “Faust” 19. yüzyılda geçiyor ve yapıta adını veren, ruhunu şeytana satan kahramanını izliyor. O bir düşünürdür, fikirlerin sözcüsü, haberleri yayan kişidir; entrikacıdır, hayalperesttir. Açlık, açgözlülük, şehvet gibi temel güdülerin yönlendirdiği adsız bir adamdır. Goethe’nin Faust’una meydan okuyan mutsuz, peşine düşülmüş bir varlıktır. İlerlemek mümkünse neden olduğun yerde durasın ki?
