InterdependenceInterdependenceGamer Wagnerism and dog operas with David KanagaA real joy to welcome one of our favorites David Kanaga, the composer and game designer behind Soft Valkyrie, a recent opera starring Stephen Fry and Attila Csihar, the dog opera O​ἶ​κ​o​ς​piel and more.

Hoy nos adentramos en la Nada: la ausencia de acciones, de objetivos, de agencia, de verbos. En esta segunda parte del tríptico nos plantamos frente al horror vacui mecánico que reina en el videojuego de masas, a menudo demasiado obsesionado con la promesa de la posibilidad y el contenido. A la búsqueda de alternativas, de calmas y silencios, salimos a pasear por obras que sueltan lastre, que decrecen, que se desprenden de ruidos y artificios. Y entre conversaciones enquistadas y polarizadas, entre los «no es un juego»...2022-09-072h 16Soft ValkyrieSoft ValkyrieEpisode 9 – Brother & Sister, the Morning After (Act 2)Previously on Soft Valkyrie. Wotan confessed the end of his backstory to Brunhilde, and passed on to her the bad news that she must not help Siegmund. Rather she must lead him to his death.

Brunnhilde, resigned to disappear into her coma, begged Wotan to at least surround her with a magic fire that will scare away everyday adventurers so that only the most fearless of heroes might manage to awaken her.

She has helped save the Walsung family, by sending Sieglinde and the broken sword off to the forest, where the mother-to-be will soon give birth to the heroic child of incest, Siegfried.

After Wotan threw a fit on discovering that Brunnhilde’s eight sisters were hiding her from him, she finally willingly came forward to submit to his punishments. He explained his plan– to put her into a deep coma, and leave her to lie in wait. She will only awaken if someone braves the danger to find her. And then she will marry this savior. The valkyries were appalled at this idea, and begged their father to revoke his sentence, but Wotan denied them in spite and fury, sending the group away, leaving himself alone with Brunnhilde, exha...2022-06-1618 minSoft ValkyrieSoft ValkyrieEpisode 13 – Wotan’s Rage, etc. (Act 3)Previously on Soft Valkyrie.

We've since walked several miles from the forest of Hunding's hut, and are now at the base of a mountain where the couple's father spends his time–Wolf, as they called him, or Wotan, Odin–god of contracts and bad weather.
