Who played the horny demon in the 2023 Doktor Faust I need to know

Watching the 2023 Busoni Doktor Faust from Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and whatever else this production may whiff, it's always going to hold a special place in my heart for having a pact scene where Mephistopheles physically manhandles Faust all over the place (forcing him to his knees suggestively at one point), they dance together, kiss on the mouth to seal the deal, and then at the end of it Faust passes out and Meph smokes a cigarette. Full marks for all of that.

(the trouble with all productions though is that the best part of the opera is over after that)

Doktor Fausts Dreifacher Höllenzwang, anonyme, milieu du XVIIIe siècle

At the beginning of the 17th century, a book of black magic was published, attributed to the mythical Faust and known by the title Höllenzwang. The library in Weimar owned a manuscript of this text, which Goethe was aware of. In 1949 Martin Bodmer was able to purchase a similar manuscript. This document, which is difficult to date, is written in cabalistic signs and, according to a German gloss, contains a series of magic spells for exorcists, which can be used in particular to call up the seven evil spirits.
