Opera Village Africa, a participatory art experiment by the late German multimedia artist Christoph Schlingensief, serves as a testing ground for a critical interrogation of Richard Wagner’s notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Sarah Hegenbart traces the path from Wagner’s introduction of the Gesamtkunstwerk in Bayreuth to Schlingensief’s attempt to charge the idea of the total artwork with new meaning by transposing it to the West African country Burkina Faso. Schlingensief developed Opera Village in collaboration with the world-renowned architect Francis Kéré. This final project of Schlingensief is inspired by and illuminates the diverse themes that informed his artistic practice, including coming to terms with the German past, anti-Semitism, critical race theory, and questions of postcolonial (self-)criticism. From Bayreuth to Burkina Faso introduces the notion of the postcolonial Gesamtkunstwerk to disrupt the Eurocentric perspective on art history, exploring how the socio-political force of a postcolonial Gesamtkunstwerk could affect processes of transcultural identity construction. It reveals how Schlingensief translocated the Wagnerian concept to Burkina Faso to address German colonial history and engage with it from the perspective of multidirectional memory cultures.

Das Licht in Bruce Naumans Installation ist ausgeknipst. Übrig bleiben Kabel und Röhren, mit denen die mystische Wahrheit des Ästhetischen erzeugt und parodiert wird. Zahlreiche zeitgenössische Texte und Theaterarbeiten machen Anleihen in den Bereichen des Mythischen, Sakralen oder Transzendenten. Tradierte Symbole, Rituale und Denkweisen werden aufgegriffen und in neue Kontexte gesetzt. Marina Abramovic inszeniert sich in ihren jüngsten Performances als eine neue Geistliche im Sinne Pierre Bourdieus, der die schwindende Rolle der Religion in der westlichen Gesellschaft mit einer Erweiterung des religiösen Feldes einhergehen sieht. Die Studie unterscheidet verschiedene Formen des Kunstreligiösen und mündet ausgehend von Analysen der Erzählungen Peter Handkes sowie der Aufführungen Christoph Schlingensiefs in eine Theorie des Kunstreligiösen.
