Kurzbeschreibung
This paper introduces the opera project «Parsifal – an opera for singers, musicians and wanderers» by Anja Diefenbach and Christoph Rodatz. The most prominent of this project is, that with the use of conventional low-tech an artwork is built, that generates and simulates network communication structures on a typical theatre stage. This is achieved by fragmenting Richard Wagner’s Gesamtkunstwerk into parallel sequences of action and letting the spectator become a flaneur wandering through audiovisual spaces. Main focus of the project is to question the established vis-á-vis of spectator and stage in theatre and to evolve a staging of «Parsifal» that deals with influences of new technologies on a changing attitude of perceiving media. In this paper I will discuss three facets of new technologies that influence our attitude towards perceiving media that are also incorporated in our artwork: first, structures of hypertext that oppose against linear narratives and perception. Second, the growing aspects of processuality in using new technologies, that lets the spectator become an interactive user. Third, tele-presence as possibility of making the invisible visible and the un-present present.
