The works of E.T.A. Hoffmann, a writer and composer, are rich in musical imagery and visual stimuli. They inspire composers to craft new compositions based on the dark and eerie 'Nachtstücke' story collection, which includes the renowned 'Der Sandmann'. Using this music, visual artist Robin Beer creates real-time projections with meticulously crafted objects, gears, or even hand movements. These visuals, projected on stage, create a play of light and shadow, interacting with space and musicians. Hoffmann's vivid imagination kindles unexpected sounds and visuals. His obsessions—sublime love, mechanical components of an automaton, or the ever-present image of the human eye—permeate this production. The theater-concert 'Der Sandmann' is an inventive form celebrating the passion of creative craftsmanship at the intersection of genres.
