Four Mephisopheles from four different eras, dressed in white, tempt Doctor Faustus with scientific advances, beauty, art, poetry - love. We used projections for the Seven Deadly Sins and one of a revolving astronaut for the first Devil. The books Mephistopheles gives to Faustus are to be found in the files of a lap-top.
