A mythicaI performance from Ia Monnaie - BruxeIles ParsifaI is a strange and enigmatic work. At the end of his life, did Wagner wish to celebrate asceticism, which he himseIf had never practised? Did he fall upon his knees before the Cross, as claimed by Nietzsche? And what does the secret society of knights based on pure bIood signify, desperately waiting for the saviour to regenerate it? What is the true nature of the opposition between the worIds of Klingsor and the Grail? What can Parsifal tell us today? In his artistic wiII and testament, Wagner condenses his moral idea of the world and returns to the roots of Iove and reIigion - to the very heart of art according to him. With the participation of conductor Hartmut Haenchen who is passionated by the score, ltalian stage director Romeo CasteIIucci proposes an originaI reading of this brilliant work and explores the essence of Wagnerian KunstreIigion in a different Iight. |
