ATEM
Opera Erl, Austria
ATEM is a video installation accompanied by a live orchestra composed of 77 musician loosely inspired by Richard Wagner’s Parsifal.
Antoine Wagner’s musical concept isolates each section of instruments and lets them play their notes of the Parsifal foreplay; in tempo one after another. The Vorspiel weaves into harmony under the baton of the festival Kapellmeister Beomseok Yi on July 14, 2022.
The narrative of the approx. 75 minute video work is loosely inspired by the third act of the legend of Parsifal (the hero’s return) translated to an Opera by Richard Wagner in 1882. ATEM explores it’s main theme of identity, redemption and resurrection.
Antoine Wagner’s adaptation takes place in 2222. Weather-shifts have made growing crops arduous. The last plants of Nolos’s alpine settlement have been stollen by Vorta. Many have tried to retrieve the seeds from the other side of the valley. None have returned.
A young being guided by Turna is sent to retrieve the Impossible Forest.
