Me and My Shadows is a multimedia performance that brings the power of Goethe’s and Steiner’s words with original score played by live musicians, Eurythmy movement and coloured light and coloured shadow and puppetry art in community. Performances will take place in March 2025 at Rudolf Steiner School theatre.

This production of Faust will bring a modernised translation using Goethe words. In addition, a new character -‘The Teacher’ will present Steiner’s explanations of the strange experiences Goethe wrote as his characters cross the threshold into different spiritual realms. Steiner was deeply impressed with the accuracy of Goethe’s descriptions, even naming the temples he designed, after Goethe, Steiner had the intention of creating a space that would honour and support productions of Faust (and his own ‘Mystery Plays‘) and might even be able to communicate with the plays,

Faust reimagined

This re-imagining of the 17th -18th Century play Faust explores relevant and crucial contemporary themes such as an epidemic, mental health, struggles with addiction, trauma, cancelling, experiences with spiritual beings and living life as a flawed human being who causes much destruction and pain.

Me and my Shadows will be presented by many creatives as a collaboration of writer and composer, actors, musicians, choir, eurythmy, light and coloured shadow artists and crew to bring to the beautiful little theatre at Kamaroi School ,Belrose Sydney in March 2025.
