PARTISAN
Synopsis
In a society that increasingly resists new ways of thinking and aesthetic transgressions, Frank Castorf calls theatre ‘the last partisan.’ As its director since the early 1990s, Castorf made the Berlin Volksbühne a place of the avant-garde.The film accompanies Castorf on his farewell production of ‘Faust’, while also providing a glimpse of the engine room of this theatre factory. Comrades-in-arms, including the actors Sophie Rois and Alexander Scheer, recall the theatre‘s unique work environment, while news flashbacks bring to life the events of the past 25 years. A tribute to a theatre and its staff.
