“Dürr Darbte der Baum” by Julius Pfeiffer

Dürr Darbte der Baum intertwines music, dance, and Richard Wagner's opera 'The Ring'. The cursed power of a Rhine gold ring unfolds, driving those who covet it towards catastrophe. Against the backdrop of a haunting coke plant, Berlin-based dancers Raz Mantell and Jin Lee embody archetypal characters, delving into the realms of subconsciousness.
