\n The Museum of Cycladic Art secured tickets for the Young Friends to the performance of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust, directed by Aris Biniaris at the National Theatre of Greece.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

From Goethe to Marlowe and de Sade, from Freud to Jung, Aris Biniaris’ Faust was a performance of intense musicality about the fierce conflict between body and spirit, experience and knowledge, the Apollonian and the Dionysian, and man’s agonizing effort to find the meaning of existence and redemption.<\/p>\n

The story of Faust was brought to the present day in a performance – an immersion in all those instincts, emotions and physical pleasures that the modern version of the hero sacrificed on the altar of the spirit. Faust came into contact with the psychotherapeutic process, in an agonizing immersion in his previously unexplored unconscious. However, this psychic journey carried “satanic” implications. The hidden powers of the human soul, the unconscious desires and repressed instincts, the fears and guilts residing in his psychic underbelly, challenged him to an unprecedented struggle with this shadowy world. And it is precisely these shadows, this despised part of existence, that led him to the greatest ideal and at the same time religious experience: love. Only he was able to bring light to every aspect of himself that he felt “dirty”, to every guilt and every repressed desire. Only he brought him face to face with his greatest challenge to date: life itself.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
