The wounding of King Amfortas with the Holy Spear severely damaged the power of the Keepers of the Grail. "The wound is only closed by the spear that struck it." But the spear was stolen by Klingsor. His magic castle is surrounded by flower girls, in whose clutches the heroes perish on the way to Klingsor. Only the "pure fool" is able to bring back the holy spear to the guardians of the Grail. Already in the arms of Kundry, he is reminded of his mission at the last moment. He feels Amfortas' wounds in his heart and becomes "knowing through compassion."
Once again the idea of ​​salvation is of central importance in Richard Wagner's last stage work. With the dualism of suffering and redemption, morality and eroticism, religion and atheism, Wagner touches on the major themes of the 19th century in his »Bühnenweihfestspiel« and at the same time makes religious claims to art. Roland Aeschlimann translates Wagner's musical mystery into a synesthetic sound-space experience.

Die Verwundung König Amfortas’ mit dem Heiligen Speer hat die Macht der Gralshüter schwer beschädigt. »Die Wunde schließt der Speer nur, der sie schlug.« Doch der Speer wurde von Klingsor geraubt. Sein Zauberschloss ist umzingelt von Blumenmädchen, in deren Fängen die Helden auf dem Weg zu Klingsor zugrunde gehen. Einzig der »reine Tor« vermag den Gralshütern den heiligen Speer zurückzubringen. Schon in den Armen von Kundry, wird er im letzten Moment an seine Mission erinnert. Er spürt die Verwundung Amfortas’ in seinem Herzen und wird »durch Mitleid wissend«.
Noch einmal ist der Erlösungsgedanke in Richard Wagners letztem Bühnenwerk von zentraler Bedeutung. Mit dem Dualismus von Leiden und Erlösung, Moral und Erotik, Religion und Atheismus berührt Wagner in seinem »Bühnenweihfestspiel« die großen Themen des 19. Jahrhunderts und erhebt zugleich einen religiösen Anspruch für die Kunst. Roland Aeschlimann übersetzt Wagners musikalisches Mysterium in ein synästhetisches Klang-Raum-Erlebnis.
