Doktormutter Faust

What if Faust were a woman today? In Fatma Aydemir's Doktormutter Faust, the classic is retold from scratch: Dr. Margarete Faust, celebrated professor and figurehead of gender studies, finds herself under pressure after a scandal. In this crisis, Mephisto appears, dangling freedom, desire and self-transgression.

When Faust meets Karim, a young doctoral student, established power dynamics and role models begin to crack. With wit, sharpness and political urgency, Aydemir interrogates the Faust myth anew - provocative, sharp-minded and firmly rooted in the present.
