‘Faustus in Africa!’ by William Kentridge & Handspring Puppet Company at The Baxter Theatre
12 Mar 2025
Staged at The Baxter Theatre, between 26 February and 22 March 2025, ‘Faustus in Africa!’ brings together theatre and puppetry under the direction of William Kentridge, alongside associate director Lara Foot in collaboration with puppetry directors Adrian Kohler and Basil Jones of the Handspring Puppet Company. Kentridge, of course, is best known in the contemporary art world for his drawings, printmaking and animated films. His work is best described as a loose gathering of possibilities through converging mediums and material: scraps, paper, envelopes, documents, floating heads, traces of history, beheadings, loud banging sounds and song.
