An inventive performance about mutual inspiration, grand ideas, and how friendship can break your heart.

 At its core is the story of the dramatic relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and Richard Wagner, revealing the living – and at times rather ridiculous – human beings behind the textbook figures.

The narrator and the pianist bring this tragicomic story to the stage, weaving together theatre, excerpts from letters and diaries, and piano music.
