Romeo Castellucci - SOCIETAS — Faust Fatto, non detto

Returning to the Romaeuropa Festival, Romeo Castellucci brings back to the stage, together with Societas, one of the most incandescent cores of Western thought. A defining figure of the European performing arts scene, Castellucci continues to push theatre beyond narrative and representation, transforming it into a space of vision, matter, and inquiry. In Faust, he removes the myth from its literary foundations and turns it into an extreme theatrical experience: not a reinterpretation of the text, but a journey through its vertiginous depths. Moving between shadow, skin, and apparition, the performance explores the figure of the artist as an exposed body, a place where condemnation and redemption ultimately converge. The result is an essential yet immensely powerful work, in which Castellucci’s formal language opens up an alternative space, suspended between reality and imagination, between image and wound.
