Santiago Blaum
Nietzsche Contra Wagner Nueva Germania Opera Tropical
- Theatre
- Music
ca. 90 min
More than 100 years ago, the political agitator Bernhard Förster and Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister Elisabeth wanted to realize the utopia of a “pure race” in the jungles of Paraguay. The “Nueva Germania” that they planned is resuscitated on stage as a non-place, as a dream, and as a TV show. Sounds from Richard Wagner are mixed with pop music. This is how Santiago Blaum continues his research on the role of the opera genre for contemporary theater.
Production: Santiago Blaum. Co-production: HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin), FFT Düsseldorf und Hellerau – Europäisches Zentrum der Künste (Dresden). Supported by Hauptstadtkulturfonds.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
