Time: 20:00
Venue: Online
I am Alice Faust is a devised piece created by students of the School of Performing Arts under the mentorship and direction of Simone Spiteri. Taking Christopher Marlowe's Faustus as an inspiration this digital theatre experience follows the journey of Alice: an intelligent and successful reporter. However, when Mephistophiles comes along with a tantalizing offer which would provide her with all the information and hidden truths she will never have access to otherwise Alice's resolve to always be just and truthful is challenged. And as Lucifer's servant, Mephistophiles can only extend this power if Alice gives something back - her own soul. The piece explores what power, information and truth mean in this day and age and what we are willing to give or lose for it. It is a cautionary tale which, despite its 500 year-old origin, still rings true to our society today. If not more.
