00:00What is Lichtbau?
00:04A complex question.
00:07It's such an incredible, ambitious project.
00:10It's like moving a mountain.
00:23He was an innovator, the first one to really make electronic music.
00:28He actually created a new way of synthesizing sounds.
00:31Pop and techno.
00:33Without Stockhausen, we would not have the Beatles, pure Prince.
00:37He is a giant, and I think the music is extraordinary.
00:42But what is Stockhausen trying to tell with this epic opera?
00:50There was a big hole in his personality. He didn't love himself.
00:54He was looking for completion.
00:59As soon as I was his wife, he had another lover, and then another one, another one.
01:03He was not so much focused on being a father.
01:09They all broke away from him.
01:12This guy is lonely.
01:14And I think with Licht he tried to heal his own complicated situation.
01:19Light is his life. Light is Karl Heinz.
01:23I was approached to stage one of the most unique music theater experiences that the composer has ever imagined.
01:31Stockhausen put his entire trust in us to make sure this goes on in the right way.
01:39But my role is to minimize it looking ridiculous.
01:43It was never done entirely, so nobody knows what does it do when you sit through 29 hours.
01:49Impossible!
01:54Everything that would go on in him, he could put into this one work.
