Parsifal

Synopsis

Animated short film based on motifs from the opera PARSIFAL by Richard Wagner. The film deals with power and gender structures that use a religious context as a pretext. Wagner's work is critically examined and re-evaluated from a very personal perspective. This is done in an entertaining way that does not shy away from a popular and allusive form. The newly composed music by Nico Gaik takes up the most important leitmotifs of Wagner's opera and at the same time makes a tongue-in-cheek reference to the popular sound of big Holywood blockbusters.
