Performer: Dominik White Slavkovský

An inventive reimagining of this well-worn tale 

In an entirely new version of the ballet, choreographer Christian Spuck wanted to explore the darker realms and fantasy of the ETA Hoffmann narrative that inspired Tchaikovsky’s suite.

Christian Spuck’s marvellous ballet "Der Sandmann" (Sandman) was first performed in Stuttgart in the spring of 2006, but this marks its first run in Zurich.
