Already unappetizing, Cepek's lunch turns positively revolting when he discovers an egg buried in a chunk of bread. He attacks a plate of greasy dumplings. An old man and a dog fight over a slab of meat. Apples rot in fast motion, overcome by scurrying maggots. In the meantime, a geyser of wine erupts from a restaurant table.
Eyes pop out and skulls with chopping teeth grin beneath clay skins.
A saccharine portrait of Jesus explodes. An embryo comes to life, only to rearrange its features in a bewildering display of clay-morphing. The rest of Faust is a little more mundane. He is an ordinary man off the street, just one of many, manipulated into the role of a Faustian rebel. Still, Cepek's sly wit keeps his performance from becoming anything but ordinary.
