after Mikhail Volkov

A music-theatre performance exploring the complex relationship between Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche — a bond that began in mutual admiration and ended in disillusionment.

On stage, a pianist and a narrator bring this story to life through a dynamic interplay of theatre, live piano music and spoken text. A poetic living dialogue where big ideas mix with personal feelings, uncovering humans behind the textbook names.

An intimate encounter with doubt, ambition and creative tension — and a mirror to our own polarized times.
