Toneelhuis – Guy Cassiers

Mefisto for ever


After the novel of Klaus Mann, Mephisto



Triptych of Power – Part I


Guy Cassiers, the ground-breaking artistic director of Flanders’ major theatre, makes his Greek debut with a play dealing with the satanic allure of power.


Based on Klaus Mann’s novel Mephisto (1936), which follows the career of an actor who collaborates with the Nazis, Mefisto for Ever (the first part in the Triptych of Power) addresses art and politics, passion and opportunism in contemporary terms.


The play’s mix of seriousness and sarcasm coupled with its powerful performances and direction – in which the poetry of the stage is amalgamated with technology – makes for a truly explosive experience.


In Dutch with Greek surtitles


Thanks to Katelijne Verbeke, Ariane van Vliet, Stefan Perceval, Peter Gorissen
