Abraham de Kock Pardidoe

Sarah Hegenbart From Bayreuth to Burkina Faso

Christoph Schlingensief’s Opera Village Africa as postcolonial Gesamtkunstwerk?

Opera Village Africa, a participatory art experiment by the late German multimedia artist Christoph Schlingensief, serves as a testing ground for a critical interrogation of Richard Wagner's notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Sarah Hegenbart traces the path from Wagner's introduction of the Gesamtkunstwerk in Bayreuth to Schlingensief's attempt to charge the idea of the total artwork with new meaning by transposing it to the West African country Burkina Faso. Schlingensief developed Opera Village in...

By establishing a homestead, we not only enjoy the view from the veranda, but live with the people in the village as they creatively secure a livelihood, consult their spirits, healers and prophets and fear the power of the witches. We experience the remnants of the colonial period and the governance of the village, chieftaincy...
