Summary

Using a blend of live coding, artificial intelligence, and holography, Richard Wagner's monumental tetralogy - a world of power, love, betrayal, and downfall, and a place of constant transformation - is curated through new imaging techniques. Under the title RING 10010110, Marcus Lobbes and his team create an experiment in visionary power, with the history of Wagner's Musikdrama taking centre stage in a visual realm that is constantly changing, expanding, reassembling, and contradicting itself. For the first time in the Bayreuth Festival's history, artificial intelligence performs live on stage - not as a character, but as a visual force. ___________________________________________________________ RING 10010110 is a co-operation between the Bayreuther Festspiele and the Academy for Theatre and Digitality
