Wagner Weltweit

In the organizer's words:

In June 2023, the mercenaries "Wagner Group" marched on Moscow and announced their intention to take power in Russia. The founder, an avowed Russian neo-Nazi, had named the group after the German composer Richard Wagner. The mercenaries described themselves as musicians, the weapons were their instruments and they saw the war as an opera. With WAGNER WELTWEIT, the Hamburg-Berlin music theater collective Sounding Situations creates a multi-perspective music theater production about the activities of the "Wagner Group" in musical cinemascope. Tik-Tok mythologies and Discord legends meet an uncertain present. Together with the instrumentalists, a multi-layered and heterogeneous live composition is created. Sensitive, contemporary, Dionysian and minimal - a real-time Ring of the Nibelung in the news studio.
