This musical was born from the idea of bringing on stage a masterpiece of German romanticism.
As Goethe himself said, this work is " INCOMMENSURABLE " and is the result of a work that the German writer developed during the entire span of his life, making the last revision, only a few months before his death.
Conceived and realized through a few years of passionate and passionate work, with the help of 2 artists who have been able to make the best of my realization ideas: the sensitive composer
M ° Roberto CHIOCCIA and the refined and eclectic librettist Alessandro HELLMANN.

It's a GREAT POPULAR FABLE, serious but not serious! In this sense it is enjoyable by viewers of all ages and cultures, with pop music, veined and influenced by classic Italian opera;
The COREOGRAPHY, beautiful and engaging, were made by Stefano BONTEMPI.
The CAST is the result of a long and meticulous selection work that has produced a company in which young talents act.
The FAUST by J.W. Goethe is a universal work that tells of one of man's most profound desires: to understand the ultimate meaning of life and the desire to always overcome oneself in order to reach out to that God, of whom one would be proud to be more than a reflection or shadow ....
In this undisputed masterpiece, Goethe took up the subject of a popular legend popular in Germany and that in England had already been the subject of a theatrical reworking by the Elizabethan poet Christopher Marlowe.
It is said that Goethe had witnessed a puppet show about the history of the doktor Faustus and was impressed and fascinated.
The SETE of KNOWING is the great theme inherent in Faust; this desire to know, pushes the protagonist to bet his own soul, without any scruple or regret, believing that even Mefistofele will not be able to give him a "moment" so beautiful, to let him accept without regret the eternal damnation ...
Faust can be considered a myth of the modern age: he is a scientist, dissatisfied with the limits of human knowledge, who bets his soul in exchange for love, youth, power and knowledge of the secrets of life.
But Goethe, unlike other authors (eg Marlowe) does not see in Faust the great sinner as popular tradition wanted it.
For this great poet and man of letters, Faust's desire to know, to go further, ("STREBEN") is antithetical to the philosophy of enjoyment in itself ("GENIEßEN"), of Mephistopheles, which hinders the push towards a higher knowledge and therefore God eventually saves Faust's soul.
Goethe's FAUST represents humanity itself, with its weaknesses and aspirations: its intolerance of the limits of conscience and the attempt to overcome them is for Goethe
"the noblest of human aspirations".
The work, allegory of human life in the whole range of passions, miseries and moments of greatness, affirms the right and the ability of the individual to want to know the divine and the human, "the ability of man to be measure of all things ".
