In La Wagner, four women, like four Valkyries, ride Wagner's music and attack the difficult task of defusing stereotypes and revealing prejudices related to femininity, violence, sexuality, eroticism and pornography.
In La Wagner, four women, like four Valkyries, ride Wagner's music and attack the difficult task of defusing stereotypes and revealing prejudices related to femininity, violence, sexuality, eroticism and pornography.
All these stereotypes and prejudices are embodied in the woman's body and intoxicate it. But this body has the intelligence and the potential to turn such a state of affairs upside down. Why link the music and figure of Richard Wagner to the company of these women? Because Wagner is one of the greatest composers of all times, and there has been no other great composer more controversial.
The events of History have made his figure repellent and his music has suffered the consequences: for some it is one of the most prodigious music that has ever been written, but for others it is the work of the devil and should be silenced. We are fascinated by putting these two universes together, where banality will come into contact with the sublime, the irreverent with the consecrated. And from this friction we hope that some type of illumination, of enriching reflection on the part of the viewer, will result.
