Play "Ur Faust Ure Goethe"
What's it about?
The theater ensemble of the ergo arte cultural association enjoys taking on unusual cultural projects to bring them into contemporary social discourse and create food for thought. And so this time they tackle the theme of Dr. Heinrich Faustus and Gretchen. In the magnificent setting of the castle chapel, they dust off Faust's study and bring a modern human to life: In search of spirit, sensuality, and intoxication, he makes a pact with Mephisto, the devil. But can this give him everything? Does knowledge alone lead to happiness? Is man more than an omniscient chatbot? Will the pact with the devil ultimately lead him to heaven or hell, will he be judged or can he be saved? Through love? At the time the work was created, we were at the beginning of the industrial revolution; today, we are at the beginning of the AI revolution. Artificial intelligence also promises us humans all the knowledge in the world, and just like Faust, we are in a dilemma. We are tempted by the heavenly advantages, while at the same time, the devilish disadvantages worry us. Could artificial intelligence literally grow over our heads on our constant path to self-optimization? Or, to speak with Faust's words: "Here I stand now, I poor fool ..." ergo arte Theaterensemble Max Mayerhofer David Czifer Mara Christine Koppitsch Laura Oedendorfer Director: Peter Pausz Ticket presale: from August 17 at Bürgerservice during opening hours (Mon, Tue: 8 AM–12 PM | Wed: 8 AM–6 PM | Fri: 8 AM–12 PM) Ticket price: 13 Euros (presale), 16 Euros (at the door) Free seating Admission from 6 PM, Start: 7 PM
