Synopsis: Not merely noir, but in places almost pitch-black, Punchdrunk's Faust roams, like its audience, through a creepy landscape of late-i 950s Americana, re-created over five floors of a disused docks development. Visitors are issued masks, split into small groups and scattered around the venue. Moving through the darkness, they may stumble across a Walpurgisnacht jive in a run-down nightclub, despairing encounters in seedy motel rooms - or simply other lost, masked souls, searching for the next fragment of the story. Played out through dance and intense physical confrontations rather than dialogue, Faust's damnation is re-enacted several times through the evening. However, sod's law, the maze-like set and a stream of artful distractions mean that nobody is likely to see it in its entirety, however determinedly they try to follow Dan Canham's DH Lawrence-like Faust, Vinicius Salles' charismatic Mephistopheles, or any of the other characters. Allusive and serendipitous, this is a fiendishly clever telling of a familiar tale. Clifford Bishop, Sunday Times | ||||
