Adapted from the first half of "Faust", the performance is very similar to the stage play, the characters' expressions and movements are exaggerated, the whole process relies on music to render the atmosphere, and the rhythm of the plot is very slow. Faust turned to Satan in order to save people from the plague. Faust, who was spurned by the people, prayed to be young, and then Satan helped him rob the Duchess at her wedding. The two fell in love, and soon Faust fell in love. De loves the new and hates the old, and falls in love with a young woman at the Easter celebration. Satan helps Faust to chase the woman. When the two make peace, the woman's mother sees her, and the mother is frightened to death. When the woman's brother is provoked by Satan to fight Faust Killed by Satan, the woman gave birth to a child in Shendong, and buried the child alive in snow in a trance. She was burned at the stake. Faust came and kissed the woman deeply in the fire. The whole thing is a boring love tragedy, exaggerated and contrived, and it doesn't feel scary at all.

The variety of techniques is remarkable, but I feel that many fragments are mixed together, and finally Faust's return to old age is touched, that's all.
