Christoph Schlingensief Obituary
Ruhrtriennale festival spokesman Oliver Golloch said the 49-year-old director died Saturday. He did not elaborate.
Schlingensief, who was also a renowned artist and actor, had suffered from lung cancer for more than two years.
He directed numerous movies, plays and operas, including at the renowned annual Richard Wagner festival in Bayreuth, Germany, and in Manaus, Brazil.
Schlingensief's plays, mostly staged in Germany, Switzerland and Austria often proved controversial as they came with strong political messages.
Schlingensief is survived by his wife, Aino.

To the family: May the comfort from family and friends strengthen you during this difficult time, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

A travers cet homme, j'ai redécouvert Parsifal, et je l'ai écrit dans un petit article au NordBayerisch. M.Schlingensief a utilisé le texte, tout le texte, en a extrait les symbolrs, renforcé les thèmes philosophiques, enrichi la mise en scène et proposé une oeuvre épmouvante, profonde.
