KLINGSAU
What can give us hope in a time that seems bereft of all hope? What can still save this country? In KLINGSAU, an immersive opera performance, music theater collective Hauen und Stechen and Theater Thikwa indulge in the spirit of Richard Wagner and take the promise of redemption in his late work seriously. Together with the audience, we bleed at a world out of balance and practice an escapist utopia. Winifred Wagner and surprise guests provide the entertainment. Who dares to disturb this gathering? Who is the Klingsau?
KLINGSAU is the second collaboration between the two ensembles, in which they walk the blurred line between innocence and historical oblivion, sharing grail, spear and wound. Is this already a conspiracy or mere esotericism and when do you actually become a Nazi while participating? KLINGSAU is a passionate and comical search for healing and revenge in the eerie world of Wagner, who would have wanted it no other way.
