Mephistopheles is a somewhat reluctant soul-pact salesman who must do his job of hoodwinking people (Faust) into damnation.
Faust is a contemporary person trapped within the confines of an artificial world, desperately seeking something fresh and natural. Mephistopheles offers her that.
Formerly: In our production, Hell is a soul-sewage processing plant of obsolescence and isolation. An attempt to communicate with another person in hell is a radical, but impossible attempt to escape the bonds of Hell.
There are two scenes, which show two sides of the same transaction. Faust demands the help of Mephistopheles regardless of Meph.'s warnings of the prospective consequences, while Mephistopheles attempts to dissuade Faust out of remorse for his own fall from grace.
