  • Der Fliegende Holländer Festspielhaus Bayreuth, 31 Juli 2012
    Een ondode op zoek naar zijn eigen vlees en bloed door Fabian Termorshuizen Der Fliegende Holländer Festspielhaus Bayreuth, 31 juli 2012 Dirigent: Christian Thielemann, Senta: Adrianne Pieczonka, Der Holländer: Samuel Youn, Erik: Michael König, Mary: Christa Mayer, Der Steuermann: Benjamin Bruns, Daland: Franz-Josef Selig Regie van Jan Philipp Gloger Een spookverhaal ‘aus der Ferne längst vergang’ner Zeiten’, maar in een uiterst modern jasje gegoten. In deze regie is de Holländer geen geest die uit de mist en de chaos van ‘Gewitter und Sturm’ tevoorschijn komt, maar een rusteloos gekwelde rijke zakenman, die geld om zich heen strooit maar nergens voldoening in vindt. In de grote monoloog verschijnen in het halfschemer drie vrouwengestalten: een serveerster, een ‘health professional’, en een prostituée. Deze gestalten tonen het vrouwelijke gezien vanuit het functionele nuttigheidsdenken, maar zonder ware trouw, zonder liefde, zonder de schenkende levenskracht. Die laatste kwaliteiten is hij kwijt. Verlangend naar de dood snijdt hij zichzelf, als een psychiatrische patiënt, maar er verschijnt geen bloed… Modern is deze regie zeker: de eerste scènes spelen zich af tegen de achtergrond van een kolossaal uitvergrote microchip. De digitale lijnen en cijfer displays lichten op in overeenstemming met de stormachtige eb- en vloed beweging van de muziek, een imposant stuk synesthesie. In den beginne was de Chaos… In een natuurlijk systeem als ‘Gewitter und Sturm’, maar ook in de door de mens zelf in het leven geroepen Molochs van computertechnologie en digitale snelwegen, waar het zoveelste cijfertje achter de komma bepalend is voor de uitkomst en waardoor alles en iedereen verbonden raken, van banken die onverwacht als dominostenen om kunnen vallen, van financiële markten die onvoorspelbaar op tilt raken, van instanties en politieke verhoudingen die op scherp staan.
