Originally written as a libretto for the Berlin State Opera,
Elfriede Jelinek’s rein GOLD reconstructs the events of
Wagner’s epic Ring cycle and extends them into the present day.
Brünnhilde diagnoses Wotan, father of the gods, to be a victim of
capitalism because he, too, has fallen into the trap of wanting to
own a castle he cannot afford. In a series of monologues,
Brünnhilde and Wotan chart the evolution of capitalism from the
Nibelungen Saga to the 2008 financial crisis. Written with her
trademark ‘extraordinary linguistic zeal’ (Swedish Academy),
rein GOLD is a playful and ferocious critique of universal greed by
the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.
