Synopsis
After 25 years the era Castorf comes to an end. During the last season of the Volksbühne the film allows us to witness the everyday life of this outstanding theatre with a reputation all over the world. From the first draw of the scenery till the final curtain we are watching how the monumental theatrical production of Goethes Faust comes to life. Thus we take a close look at the director, his actors and the people who work behind the scenes and get an impression of what has been grown together here. We are also on tour with them in Paris and Athen and see extracts of other plays developed by Castorf and his team.
