Blickpunkt Musical, Konrad Schröder, Theatre Brno, November 2014:
“Christoph Weyers’ stage forms almost 50 images that keep transforming in many ways through moving walls, built-ins in the double-decker platforms and hanging elements, creating numerous locations, making use of all the possibilities of the musical theatre, which is only 10 years old.”
Lenka Sucha, 20.10.2014:
“The stage design by Christoph Weyers plays with the overlapping of different walls and geometric shapes. Due to the possibility of rapid transformation of the individual scenes in connection with projections and trick effects, this stage can probably be classified as one of the most sophisticated sets in the history of musical theatre. People walk through walls and closed doors, while objects and people start to float, without seeing how this magic works. The illusion of black theatre is perfect. Thanks to the undoubtedly fast pace, the audience cannot help but be amazed at the stage magic the show has to offer.”
Mestohudby.cz, 20.10.2014:
“[...] Functionality and quick transformations make it possible in Christoph Weyers’ stage design to never let the dramaturgy of the three-hour play get boring [...]”
Jaroslav Stepanik, 20.10.2014:
“A significant role in this production is played by Christoph Weyers’ set design, which creates dozens of different images through workably coherent spaces, beautifully offset by his projections and lighting design.”
Echo24.cz, 23.10.2014:
“The director Stanislav Mosa is an experienced director who is no stranger to big theatre spectacles. He found the ideal collaborator for Ghost in set designer Christoph Weyers, who has created a lifting podium stage with movable walls. It can be effortlessly transformed into a spacious loft flat, an underground tunnel, a mad fortune teller’s cabinet, police station, luxurious banker’s office or a dingy New York backyard, etc.”
