*************************************** Sunday, December 21, 2008 Please join us for an entertaining afternoon with Paul Heise as he leads us in a journey of discovery in the joys of Wagner research.  Paul Heise Wagner Researcher and Author of “The Wound That Will Never Heal”
Paul Heise has spent the past 38 years researching and documenting allegories and motifs in the Ring Cycle and has created a compendium outlining every bit of research done on the Ring, as well as every motif and idea that Wagner intended. The title “The Wound That Will Never Heal” is an allusion to Amfortas, the King in Wagner's opera Parsifal, who's wound is never healed, regardless of how much balm is applied to his wound. Only Parsifal - the “pure fool” - is able to heal Amfortas. He also studied anthropology at the graduate school level at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He withdrew from graduate school in 1976 in order to devote his time completely to the study of Wagner.
