The BAJOUR collective presents FauWst, a fresh reinterpretation of the Faust myth directed by Hector Manuel. The show will premiere at Theatre Romain Rolland in Villejuif in October 2026, before moving to Maison des Métallos in Paris from November 17 to 26, 2026.

The story follows Johanna and Henri, who long for a child and decide to have one. Gabriell grows up in a protective, sheltered family environment before she is torn away from it. Her search for her parents becomes a journey through a world shaped by the drives to create, power dynamics, and the pursuit of truth.

The encounter with the Devil roots this tale in the Faustian myth. BAJOUR relocates it to a near-future setting and builds the piece from a stage-forward writing approach. Eight performers carry this journey: Leslie Bernard, Marion Couzinié, Julien Derivaz, Margaux Grilleau, Matthias Jacquin, Hector Manuel, Alexandre Virapin and Adèle Zouane.
