PARSIFAL ENTFERNUNG. Sakrileg Kundry
Description of the project
Wagner created his own musical drama to rescue music theatre from the
conventions of traditional „OPERA“. Forcing Richard Wagners`
music drama into institutional conditions of performance-practice,
into theatrical architecture and common rites of interpretation,
would mean to renounce Wagners vision of forwarding innovative music-conceptional
levels.
Installation and live-project
The special challenge of the project is to create a span from a music-theatre-live-project
to video-installation. Reference and interlacing among the two form
a kind of net which puts focus on “performing arts as installation”.
Starting
point: Wagners` Parsifal and analogue cross-mapping
Beginning with
reception and classification of the musical material in Richard Wagners`
Parsifal, substantial segments and analogies with text and visuables
are developed, and thus an analogue cross-mapping among those elements
is realized.
Concept and direction: Eberhard Kloke

Oliver Urbanski, actor

Viersen, Margherita Biederbick, Hannah Klein and Kathrin Bogensberger

- Max-Taut-Aula, Ruine im Berufsschulzentrum Berlin-Lichtenberg
| MUSIC |
The score is concentrated on the basic shape
of a string quartet. Melodic, harmonic and rhythmic details are conserved.
The individual sequences are made chronologically traceable to guarantee
the unity of musical elements and to counteract a primary impression of
patchwork, - in addition , to assert a direction of the musical and visual
interpretation within the répliques.
|
| ACOUSTIC MATERIAL |
The acoustic substance, the new version for voice and string-quartet,
is the protoplasm of the media experiment. The music does not
function as commentator, the consciously chosen priorities of
the individual circulate around the centre of statement. |
| IMAGERY-LANGUAGES |
The imagery-language approaches - via different
levels of time and significance – the unspoken and indeterminate moments
of words and music. The visual elements are either retrospective
or anticipative optic apertures which accompany the individual
scenes (resp. the intended basic situation) temporarily, psychologically
or metaphorically.
|
| RÉPLIQUES |
The individual répliques develop the musical material and focus
on the motifs, the thematic, harmonic and rhythmic centres of the individual
scenes in repetitive patterns.
These create the basic material to form the “cracks” (Risse)
which follow Kundrys` musical passages, - in combination with further visionables
(structural video – elements). |
In drawing up the “set” for the individual locations,
similar as well as differing sequences are developed for both single or several
arenas, and are put into a “magnetic field” together with the
video-installation.
