Faustus In Africa!

Thirty years after its groundbreaking debut, William Kentridge and Handspring Puppet Company reunite to revive Faustus in Africa! on stage.

This reimagined production runs at The Baxter from 26 February to 22 March 2025. Directed by Kentridge, with Handspring’s masterful puppetry and design, the revival breathes new life into their multi-award-winning 1995 masterpiece.

A gleefully irreverent take on the ‘Faustian Pact,’ this timeless tale remains a powerful allegory for today’s world. Its themes of compromise and moral trade-offs resonate across generations, reflecting urgent issues of power, greed, and short-term gain—at the heart of today’s climate crisis and global challenges.

Faustus In Africa! tickets are available online through Webtickets.
