Neither balsam nor medicinal herbs can give relief to the sickly wounded Grail King Amfortas. The way to his recovery turns out to be complex. No initiate of the Grail Community, only an outsider, a "pure fool" who becomes knowledgeable through compassion, can regain the spear that caused the wound, touch Amfortas' wound with its tip and thus heal it. On his journey to self-knowledge and to the means of redemption, Parsifal is not only accompanied by the knowledgeable knight Gurnemanz, but also by the enigmatic and seductive Kundry, who opens his eyes to sensuality as well as to the supernatural.

In his last musical drama, the Parsifal stage festival, which premiered in Bayreuth in 1882, Richard Wagner asks about wounds that burn both in individuals and in communities and answers with miracle cures that can alleviate suffering.

Parsifal by Wagner, Richard, From (2022/2022), Directed by Pierre Audi,, Conductor Mikko Franck, Nationaltheater, Munich, Germany
