Witness A Visceral Rendition Of Doctor Faustus At Studio 77 – Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University Of Wellington
The newly renamed Te Whare Ngangahau Theatre and Performance Studies programme of Victoria University presents Doctor Faustus to Studio 77. Full of pranks, necromantic antics and mind-bending illusions, this tragicomedy will run over eight performances from 20–30 May. Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe is an Elizabethan tragicomedy directed by Sarah Thomasson with design direction from Lucas Neal. The students of Te Whare Ngangahau are adapting this classic with a contemporary angle and regendered casting. Taking a modern rereading of its themes regarding power, knowledge, and damnation. Actor Carys Chapman-Vari says, 'I wanted to play Wagner female because I felt it was important to show a woman just being a woman, who is powerful, intelligent and confident, instead of a typically romance based female character.' Step into the study of the infamous Doctor Faustus as he toys with demonic powers and dances the line between omnipotence and damnation. The show features a brutalist inspired set, large scale puppets and dramatic costuming created by students. Taking inspiration from balenciaga fashion and gothic style. Actor Christian Harris says 'The exceptionally talented cast and crew bring this inspiring show to life. Be prepared to be wowed with the dark brutalist aesthetic that we've created along with striking movement pieces, magical incantations, and hilarious pranks'. Doctor Faustus, will run from the 20th of May till the 30th of May at Studio 77 on Fairlie Terrace, Kelburn, Wellington. Tickets can be purchased through Eventfinda. Show dates: Tue 20 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Wed 21 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Thu 22 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Fri 23 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Sat 24 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Wed 28 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Thu 29 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm Fri 30 May 2025, 6:30pm–9pm
