Scene 1 Wood-panelled room. Video of churning from Solaris through the course of the scene changing to video of office being trashed(?) Mephistopheles, testing out full body device. Meph is also projected onto the Solaris video. The two other actors are also testing out things, helping, communing with pink styrofoam?
FAUSTUS. Where are you damned?
MEPHIST. In hell.
FAUSTUS. How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
MEPHIST. Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Long pause.
FAUSTUS. Where are you damned?
MEPHIST. In hell.
FAUSTUS. How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
MEPHIST. Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,
In being depriv'd of everlasting bliss?
O, Faustus, leave these frivolous demands,
Which strike a terror to my fainting soul!
FAUST has approached the door, so sonic cel phone apocalypse happens. The video rewinds. The other two devils, bust out the door, leading the audience to Faust's office down the hall.
Faustus speaks quickly and agressively, while watering plant, until audience is settled in reception area:
FAUSTUS. What, is great Mephistophilis so passionate
For being deprived of the joys of heaven?
Learn thou of Faustus manly fortitude,
And scorn those joys thou never shalt possess.
Scene 2
Reception area. Projected onto Faust is Meph #1, creeping into the shadows is Meph #2. Video of black and white office? Loud?
FAUSTUS. Where are you damned?
MEPHIST. (silent) In hell.
FAUSTUS. How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
MEPHIST. (silent) Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
FAUSTUS. Where are you damned?
MEPHIST. In hell.
Faust moves aside and Meph #2 's face is over Meph #1's projection, so they seems to speak together.
FAUSTUS. How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
MEPHIST. Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Panic! The sound of the office video intensifies. The pace quickens. Meph #2 separates from the images so there are three Mephistopheles. A Third Meph is added.
MEPHIST. Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,
In being depriv'd of everlasting bliss?
O, Faustus, leave these frivolous demands,
Which strike a terror to my fainting soul!
Silence.
FAUSTUS. What, is great Mephistophilis so passionate
For being deprived of the joys of heaven?
Learn thou of Faustus manly fortitude,
And scorn those joys thou never shalt possess.
