COVID-19 FILM

Germany in the first lockdown winter. Clubs and theaters are closed. Social and cultural life has dropped below the freezing point.  Warming up for better times, an independent theater group goes on with rehearsals despite strict restrictions. Turning for solace to Goethe’s “Faust” all those involved are bringing their anger, fears, and worries on stage. Right from the start, the dramaturgy of private conflicts dominates the theater. Why can’t the director on stage follow the lead of the director in charge? Why is the poet constantly too late? Why is the funny person not smiling? And why does society need free art at all? With this worrying key question, CoronaFAUST reflects on Germany’s cultural self-image in times of the global pandemic.
