One screen shows a figure - neither male nor female - relentlessly walking. Thus Berg ends with the song "Ringel, Ringel, Rosenkranz, Ringelreih'n!" It is a round, yet another typically Bergian palindrome. The children's voices sound innocent but the message is sinister. The puppet child rides a hobby horse, as mentioned in the libretto, but this time, it's made from a crutch. The children's voices are heard from offstage. "Du ! Deinn Mutter ist tod!" they cry, cruelly. The puppet is truly alone trapped in his own dimension. He listens, then bends […]
