Chasing Kundry's Shadow

Do we rehearse our gestures of grief? At once opera history, performance criticism, and personal narrative, in this mystory I pursue Kundry's shadow as literary leitmotif across Richard Wagner's stage, the Holocaust, and my own personal narrative of loss. Structured as palimpsest, this mystory explores gestured memory as witness onstage and off, exposes the dangers it signals as well, and delays any completion of thought as a deliberate artistic strategy and philosophical imperative to avoid despair. My aim in doing so underscores the centrality of gesture and voice within the unsettling act of bearing witness to grief and performing memory
