Description
Elfriede Jelinek's rein GOLD is a provocative critique of universal greed, reimagined from the epic Ring cycle. In this innovative work, Brünnhilde diagnoses Wotan as a victim of capitalism, tracing the evolution of greed from ancient myth to modern-day crises. Through a series of monologues, Brünnhilde and Wotan chart the trajectory of capitalist excess, from the Nibelungen Saga to the 2008 financial crisis. Written with Jelinek's characteristic linguistic zeal, rein GOLD is a playful yet ferocious exploration of the darker aspects of human nature. A powerful and thought-provoking work, rein GOLD offers a fresh perspective on the timeless themes of power, greed, and the human condition.
