In Bayreuth, WAGNER WELTWEIT has left the stage and become a space you can walk into — until October 4.
How are political feelings produced, distributed, repeated and aesthetically stabilised? The performance layered operatic myth, war, social media, propaganda and real-time music; the museum version turns that layering into something you move through. Fragments, projections, voices, sound and newly composed music surround you across eleven stations, and there is no fixed distance, no single perspective from which to take it all in. The space can be entered, crossed, left and entered again.
Bayreuth is not a neutral host for this. Here the work meets Wagner in the place where his cultural legacy is still being produced, preserved and contested, and where fascination, inheritance, appropriation, resistance and political meaning refuse to separate cleanly from one another.
The installation is built to travel — its stations can be re-scaled for museums, festivals, opera houses and exhibition spaces. If you programme rooms where these questions belong, write to us.

Send this to someone who should be standing in that room.
