This course examines the theme of the “Faustian
Bargain” in the arts world – where remaking reality to
suit our desires whether power, fame or immortality is
the sum of our actions. What choices would you make
for what you most desire? Since the 16th century, the
story of Faust and his pact with Mephistopheles has
provoked the question: Can we shift the responsibility
of our actions and choices to another, such as a God
or history?
