Composer, dramatist, polemicist: the work of Richard Wagner continues to evoke both adoration and rejection. Often seen as either a revolutionary renewer or a precursor of questionable ideologies—and at times, both. The persistent stereotype is that his operas are primarily long, loud, and excessive. 'Wagner' aims to restore the complexity to a frequently oversimplified topic. This adventurous biography traverses various milieus of the 19th century, raising questions about art, politics, and society that remain pertinent today. In 2026, the Bayreuth Festival will celebrate its 150th anniversary, uniquely connected to Wagner's work. The Independent Little Lies collective uses this occasion to offer a scenic reflection: a retrospective on a history full of contradictions and tensions. A Wagner evening for experts, skeptics, and those who usually steer clear of him.
