When great spirits inhabit the stage
At the E.T.A. Hoffmann Theater Bamberg, a haunting yet musical ghost house opens up. In the ETA Show: Great Spirits, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Heinrich von Kleist, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Donna Anna from Mozart's Don Giovanni encounter each other. Daniel Seniuk combines literary hauntings, dark humor, and music into an extraordinary stage experience about loneliness, artistic obsession, and the desire to be understood.
A zombie communal living full of friction
The dramaturgy leads into an involuntary shared apartment of the deceased: E.T.A. Hoffmann and Heinrich von Kleist have been irritating each other for centuries, while Mozart seeks musical inspiration. Donna Anna continues to haunt the legendary foreign box number 23 on the right side of the orchestra – that box which E.T.A. Hoffmann immortalized in his Don Juan tale.
Between burnout, stage, and musical communication
When the washed-up show host ETA settles into the ghost house after a burnout, the fragile equilibrium falls apart. From initial hostility, a quirky community gradually develops. The production transforms this into a humorous theatrical encounter between past and present, tragedy and comedy.
Music as the language of great emotions
When words are no longer sufficient, music begins. Acting skills, revue elements, and musical moments open a sensual resonance space in which the historical figures show their vulnerability. The stage design by Anna Siegrot, the video design by Alexander Drabusch and Lennart Peters, as well as the dramaturgy by Lea Mantel create a multifaceted theater atmosphere for the evening.
An evening in the heart of Bamberg's theater history
The ETA Show plays with the grand history of the house and makes visible the spirits who continue to live within its walls. Under the direction and concept of Daniel Seniuk, an ensemble evening is created with Hennie Gerdes, Avi Meyer, Laura Röseler, Daniel Seniuk, Stephan Ullrich, Luke Venatier, and Daniel Warland.
Conclusion: A musical haunting with soul
Great Spirits promises an evening in which literary history, musical theater, and dark humor come together. Anyone wishing to experience the E.T.A. Hoffmann Theater as a living space of memory should not miss this unusual stage experience.
