Celebrating 15 years, the São Jorge Variety Company created FAUST, which made its debut in 2014 at the Mirada Ibero-American Festival in Santos, performing very successful seasons at Sesc Pompeia and Teatro João Caetano, in São Paulo. In 2015, the show participated in FILO in Londrina.

The adaptation of Goethe's text by Cia São Jorge de Variedades, which gave it universal repercussion, was done by Georgette Fadel and Claudia Schapira, directors of the production, with collaboration and consultancy from Alexandre Krug, who was part of the cast. The actors from Cia. Marcelo Reis, Patrícia Gifford, Paula Klein and guest actors Edgar Castro and Pedro Felício, as well as musicians Luiz Gayotto, Lincoln Antônio and Felipe Massumi also contributed to the final adaptation.

The São Jorge Variety Company brings FAUST to the theater arena in order to debate the forms and relationships of modernity and the contemporary. Through this giant work we attempt to make a leap in understanding and expressing the current human condition. Given our limited vision, but vision nonetheless, the São Jorge de Variedades Company looks at the world a little more broadly and offers what it has seen, felt and thought in the form of this show.
