D'Annunzio's hybrid experiments challenge Wagner's 'total artwork' theories, search for a synthesis between pictorial stillness and filmic movement, and anticipate contemporary multimedia experiences. Ending suddenly at the outbreak of the Great War, Dannunzian total artworks have generated a controversial legacy that calls for renewed critical investigations.
