BEAR WITH us. With that, work lights burst into brilliant glare, diesel compressors roar into life, air hammers rip into the pavement, and dust begins to rise. Comes the dawn.

Faust appears as the prisoner of a giant glob of seaweed, suspended above the stage in a play of lights that have the harsh glare of misery. Mephistopheles is a sexual chameleon-a lover of "perverse roses," a force of violent poetry...
