A young man representing Parsifal in Evgeny Titov’s Parsifal stands on a wet concrete floor in a claustrophobic, industrial brick interior. He wears an open white shirt and dark trousers. He looks upward with his hands raised slightly as bright light pours through a large opening behind him, illuminating the haze-filled space and fading into an eerie red glow at the edges of the frame.
