My favorite part of Elisabeth Das Musical (1992) is when Elisabeth is like "or better I'll kill myself" then 30 seconds later is like "what doesn't kill me makes me strong, leave my presence, peasant"

Today was Rebecca's Dernière (last show) in Vienna after a 15-month run. I'm trying to cope with by posting my photos from when I finally got to see it on New Year's Eve. Since I know approximately 3 people IRL who are aware of this show, I would love to share them with you all.

I am thinking once again about Elisabeth das Musical and Death.
Recently Overly Sarcastic Productions' Red presented a video on the fictional depiction of Death. And I thought about my favorite assassin faery king/meow meow feral wet cat Der Tod. During my video essay, I only mentioned a few interpretations of Death without digging into it. But I realized that the interpretation where Der Tod is not an independent character - but as a personification of a troubled psyche perhaps - doesn't have to be confined to the experience of an individual.
In the musical, a lot of deaths are shown or alluded to. But what is curious about the total death toll in is that Der Tod only appears to a handful of characters.
If Der Tod is an independent psychopomp character, wouldn't it make consistent logical sense if he comes to deliver every single soul passed away? The Takarazuka Revue production definitely leans more heavily into this interpretation. Which makes him appear like a deity associated with Death but not the event of death itself.
The pre-2012 Der Tod is more nuanced combining characteristics of death itself and representation of psychological darkness to create ambiguity. But what if these 2 things overlap and he represents both?
Here's the thing!
Der Tod is only relevant in the lives and deaths of 3 characters: Elisabeth, Rudolph, and Lucheni. Old Sophie's death is a fade-to-black. Baby Sophie's death, Der Tod appears in front of - NOT SOPHIE - but ELISABETH. And this is no coincidence! These are 3 characters who contemplate Death the most. Not just in the sense that they are su*c*dal but they ponder much about lives and subsequently the concept of death.
So that brings me to the question: what does it all mean?
Death is, after all, the only universal experience every human must face. And we as humans don't just stop at knowing, but we actively think about what death means, and tell stories about the experience of living and dying. The fact that Der Tod is intimate with multiple characters can represent the collective contemplation of Death.
And his relationship with them begs the question:
Is he more powerful, the more we think of him?

Der Schleier fällt,
Verlass die Schatten.
Ich hab mich so nach dir gesehnt,
Lass mich nicht warten.
Mach die Nacht zum Morgen,
Lass mich befreit sein und geborgen,
Lösch die Erinnerung in mir aus,
Gib meiner Seele ein Zuhaus.
Lass die Welt versinken,
Ich will mit dir im Nichts ertrinken,
Mit dir als Feuer auferstehn
Und in der Ewigkeit vergehn.

got into tanz der vampire recently and it feels like half the fandom interprets it totally differently than me(which is fine ofc). imo krolock represented a predatory man(esp considering it seems like he's been waiting to make his move on this barely/not even 18 yr old girl for a while) and sarah only loved him bc he offered her freedom but once she obtained that she seemed to be happy to run away with alfred instead and be with him. but other ppl seem to interpret this totally differently ig??
