Ring of Resilience
Theatrical cinema experience in which (live) singing, film, fashion and performance come together
Arlon Luijten
Richard Wagner already knew it and science is also saying it: ‘The water is coming’ (or, ‘A big wave is on its way’). But there is good news as well. WOTAN INC has developed a hi-tech boat, ‘The Ocean Walhalla Princess II’. The bad news is that it doesn’t have enough space for everyone. No worries, WOTAN INC has the solution. Namely, ’The Extincticator’, an ingenious piece of technology and democracy that helps citizens to determine, collectively, who can get on board … And who can’t.
Opera, orchestra, film, fashion, games, performance, and crash-tests for co-creation and participation go hand in hand in the Rotterdam version of Wagner’s ‘The Ring of the Nibelung’.
“As he engages the citizens of Rotterdam through games and workshops, Arlon Luijten renders the major opera themes topical in his very own way.” – Tobias Kokkelmans (dramaturgy O.)
