Poe

Blickpunkt musical, 04.2009: 
“Christoph Weyers provides a varied set with four movable and changeable sliding elements as well as an oversized raven and dresses the actors in elaborate costumes that more than do justice to many a large-scale production.” 

Musicalzentrale, 08.10.2009: 
“[...] The director packs all of this into an opulent visual language, for which set designer Christoph Weyers has created a frame that is decidedly worth seeing. His quickly changeable stage set consists of mobile walls decorated with handwriting that can be opened up like pages from a pop-up picture book. Together with some set pieces and Anke Tornow's video projections, new and sometimes surprisingly beautiful play spaces are created (cemetery scene). Christoph Weyers also draws on the full range of costumes and, in addition to tasteful clothing of 19th century America, he has also designed very dressy, whimsical robes for the dream sequences...” 

Musicals - das Musical Magazine: 
“The stage design by Christoph Weyers is particularly successful, as he has designed backdrop parts that can be moved and rotated to the sides, either indicating the location or illustrating the author's world with written decor. [...] Convincingly, too, the surrealism vacillates, showing Poe as an impoverished writer or a gothic glitter prince. [...]” Musicalclub24: “Christoph Weyers makes it clear to the audience in the set and costumes that he sees the world through Poe's eyes. [...] Christoph Weyer also creats elements that tip the mood of a cheerful scene into the opposite. [...] Again, the stage design follows the gaze of the poet, for whom nature takes on this touch of bleakness.”
