Faustaff

Gilly Jacoby is a successful writer, thanks to a pact with the Devil, but this pact leads her to madness.

Faustaff was written by the Mexican playwright, Diego Sosa. It's a play inspired by the Faustian myth, set in the modern world and seen through feminine eyes. The title of the play, however, comes from a mixture between Marlowe's and Goethe's Dr Faustus and Shakespeare's Falstaff, the mischievous character from the Henry IV saga and The Merry Wives Of Windsor.

Faustaff explores the limits between fiction and reality, in a world where media has blurred those frontiers; a world where men and women are obsessed with power, money and social recognition; a world that has lost its sensibility towards tragedy and where violence has taken over.

The set is designed by Pablo Ángel Lugo, a recognized Mexican artist who is living in the UK. His wide artist productions includes paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, videos, performances, illustrations, graphic design, and collaborations in cinema. He is specialized in public art and his work has been exhibited in Mexico, Cuba, the United States, Colombia, Spain, France, Portugal and the UK, among other countries.
