“The Knick” was the inspiration for Gounod’s Faust, the American series about the inexhaustible and sometimes grotesque urge to explore in a newly opened large hospital in New York City at the end of the 19th century. Whether the soul can be found there? The gods in white on devilish paths and the way to the realisation that ultimately the soul is called love. The stage design was elaborate: building square is easy, but round is a challenge.
They did it, bravo!
