It tells the (fictional) story of the actor Hendrik Höfgen, who has become a celebrated star of the so-called Third Reich and is appointed director of the Berlin State Theater.
Lotte Lindenthal, the wife of the "pilot general" and Minister President, a mediocre actress, wants Höfgen as a partner for her Berlin debut at the State Theater and is able to persuade her husband to bring Höfgen back to Berlin.
A passionate actor who is tailor-made for the role of Mephisto in Goethe's Faust, the opportunist Höfgen realizes far too late that he has actually made a pact with the devil. He will lose almost everyone who means anything to him in this free fall into the moral abyss: his lover Juliette, his first wife Barbara, his communist friend Otto. Only the actress and soulmate Nicoletta, with whom he has entered into a marriage of convenience to escape persecution for his sexual orientation, will stand by him.
There will be an introduction to the play with Linda Keil at 7.15 hrs in the auditorium.
