Faust II is an interpretation and theatre production of the Goethe classic that focuses on the question of how a society deals with injustice. The production brings together students from various faculties who are involved both on stage and behind the scenes. Among other things, they design costumes, stage sets and props and have the opportunity to learn new performance techniques. Video recordings and collage techniques are also used.

Participation is open to all interested parties. There is no limit to the number of participants. In addition to students, people from outside the university are also invited to participate, provided they are at least 18 years of age.

The production is not based exclusively on the original language of the play, but has been adapted to make it more accessible to an audience with no previous knowledge. An interactive component is the opportunity for the audience to vote at the end of the performance on whether Faust should go to heaven or not. In this way, a process of reflection on justice and the behaviour of individuals and society is initiated during the play.

The set design, costumes and props are deliberately minimalist in order to work as much as possible with existing materials and conserve resources. The realisation period extends from January to December 2025 or January 2026, with a planned performance in December 2025 or January 2026.
