Fateful destiny This event is an immersive performance where song and dance merge with the poems about the fate of Maria Stuart and Mathilde Wesendonck.

Robert Schumann composed the music to the poems of Maria and Richard Wagner to the poems of Mathilde.

The content of the poems is far apart. They lived in different times but had very much in common.

They were both passionate and full of vigor, but fate created a different destiny for them.


Neither of them lived free and both were in a way victims of oppression.

Maria was assassinated after political power struggles and Mathilde had to live by society´s expectations and scarifice Wagner´s love for her.

English

Örlagaþræðir er samruni þar sem söngur og dans sameingast í túlkun á ljóðum Mariu Stuart og Mathilde Wesendonck.

Robert Schumann samdi tónlistina við ljóð Mariu en Richard Wagner við ljóð Mathilde.

Umfjöllunarefni kvennanna eru ólík. Þær lifðu á ólíkum tímum en áttu þó mjög margt sameiginlegt.

Báðar voru þær fullar af ástríðu og þrótti en örlaganornirnar spunnu þeim ólík örlög.

Hvorug náði að lifa frjáls en báðar voru leiksoppar örlaganna.

Maria var tekin af lífi eftir valdatafl og pólitískar tilfæringar og Mathilde varð að beygja sig undir væntingar samfélagsins og fórna eldheitri ást Wagners.
