Bayreuther Festspiele “Die Walküre”
Hermann Nitsch

‘because of the corona crisis, bayreuth is performing the walküre in concert. the singers are standing at the edge of the stage like in an oratorio. as an action artist, i have been invited to organise an actionistic event on stage during the musical performance of all three acts of the walküre. i would like to realise a painting action. the poured and smeared colours of the entire rainbow spectrum will try to compete with the colourfulness of wagner's music in a positive sense. the painting actions are preliminary stages of my own orgien mysterien theatre, which i developed in prinzendorf. i am particularly pleased when bright colours run continuously from top to bottom during the three acts. the painting processes should be like music. sounds become colours.’
