Fascinating figure theater: Experience Faust in Leipzig!

In the west wing Leipzig, the fascinating representation of Goethe's "Faust" is presented under the title "Playing Faust". The idea, which is accompanied musically by Charlotte Vogel, offers a creative interpretation of the serious topics of the masterpiece.
