Bridge Markland - Faust in the Box

In the organizer's words:

Scientist Faust is looking for the ultimate knowledge and fun in life. Then someone appears who can fulfill all his wishes: Mephisto! The catch? Faust has to sell his soul to him. And fulfilling wishes only works because Mephisto blatantly manipulates people, using drugs and magic if necessary. In this fast-paced one-woman+puppet full-playback show, Bridge Markland constantly switches between Mephisto, Faust and Gretchen. She plays additional characters with hand puppets. Goethe's texts are amplified with pop music quotations. Roy Orbison sings "Pretty Woman" when Faust sees Gretchen for the first time. Elvis warms up the inexperienced girl with "Falling in Love". Even the doctors' warnings don't help: "Men are pigs - don't trust them".

Bridge Markland's love story doesn't have a happy ending either, but it is a lot of fun. Not only does it conjure up a refreshing fist out of the box, it also provides a new perspective on pop music history.

"... It is striking how quickly and dynamically the abridged text from Goethe's pen is supplemented, commented on and accompanied by the song recordings under Markland's unerring direction. ...Markland's skills as an arranger, actress and shrewd commentator
