Press comments

A synthesis of the arts, an eye-opener, a picture puzzle, a beautiful production on an extremely high artistic level with stylistically confident costumes and magical imagery. A perfect theater evening with a great cast with a great number of aesthetic and acoustic qualities.
Enchanting imagery with which props are almost nothing and light almost always everything. Christian Friedel is the centerpiece of a strong, differentiated cast from which Rosa Enskat stands out as mother and André Kaczmarczyk as tap-dancing sandman.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
The powerful music from British Anna Calvi is catchy and the cast, in particular the singer and actor Christian Friedel as Nathanael, pulls off a par force performance.
Neue Zürcher Zeitung
The cast skips between grotesque and horror. There's a fine line between laughter and terror. Perhaps 'Sandman' will become another hit like 'Black Rider'. This horror musical certainly has the musical potential.
Welt am Sonntag
The audience in Düsseldorf can look forward to a spectacle that spirits its audience out of the present for more than two hours – and into a hermetic, superior world in which fantasies run wild, furniture glides across the stage, alchemists ignite their fire and children find no sleep. Because who knows − maybe, just maybe, the sandman has already arrived.
Rheinische Post
Everything is so light and yet so very heavy, funny and appalling, artificial and silly, hysterical and abysmal. Revue and comic, drama and music. A lucky dip full of fantastic imagery.
Every lighting mood, every movement and every word spoken or sung is an elementary part of his work and is planned and staged right down to the very last detail. The old master has proved how strongly his stage worlds obliged to their form can touch and entertain with a magnificent adaptation of this profound horror story from 1816: a horror trip with humor and a glimpse into the human abyss. The audience celebrated the cast, orchestra and Wilson himself, the 75-year-old world-renowned stage wizard, with standing ovations. A profound and subtle evening.
