Achim Freyer's visually powerful interpretation of Richard Wagner's stage-dedicated festival play, Parsifal, is itself a fascinating work of art. The director, stage and costume designer, presents us with a world of colors and symbols, emerging from the spirit of the music. Wagner's farewell to the world revolves around the central idea of compassion, of compassion for others and for nature. The use of Christian symbols, blended with Buddhist and philosophical ideas, is to be understood symbolically. Wagner's final score takes us on a journey into the very core of existence and points musically far into the future.
