Weia! Waga! - A Wagner Sideshow

People of public interest from the fields of politics, economics, diversity, athletics and history discussed with us about topics which appear in Wagners oeuvre and in current society alike.

Richard Wagners Opera Cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen" has a pretext: so when the patriarch of gods, Wotan, got bored with the right of the strongest, he tore a piece of root from the World Tree, carving on it new laws. These evoke, as the drama unfolds, serious discussions about power, money, gender and belonging. Taking such questions as a starting point, we go into late night talks with invited guests as well as with artists who are part of the "Ring Festival"s productions. With music contributions from Les Reines Prochaines (queerfeminist artist band).
