Doctor Faustus, who has pledged his soul to the devil at the price of knowledge, makes his way through the entire circle of the earth, from the deepest pit of hell up to the stars, through all the abysses of human passions, until he finally believes he can satisfy his longing in the child of the gods, Gretchen. But even from the most intimate love only the evil demon Mephisto laughs at him, who does not forget to collect his price.
Half medieval, most terrifying mystery play about the poor sinner Doctor Fausten and half drama about the fate of modern man, who seeks his way to happiness between God and the devil.
