E.T.A. Hoffmann's Tale in Virtual Reality
E.T.A. Hoffmann published the Gothic novel "The Sandman" in 1816. Its protagonist, Nathanael, lives in growing fear of the mysterious Coppelius. He is certain that Coppelius is the evil Sandman, who intends to gouge out his eyes.
Director Florian Moch presents this story, in which the boundaries between reality and fiction blur, in his own version and as the first co-production between the Augsburg Puppet Theater and the digital department at the Augsburg State Theatre.
How does it work?
You will receive a VR headset from us on site. With it, you and the other audience members will immerse yourselves in the world of the fairy tale "The Sandman." The stage production takes place in virtual reality all around you.
After the performance, we cordially invite you to a post-show discussion: Benjamin Seuffert, Head of Digital at the Augsburg State Theatre, will provide fascinating insights into the production and answer your questions. The discussion will be moderated by Jonathan Danigel.
Age recommendation: from 14 years.
