A globe trotting colleague plonked down on the edge of my desk today and demanded the low down on this show. Much to my chagrin, I hadn't heard of it let alone seen it.
The company's web site is available in English, German and French: http://www.titanick.de/
Here's a description of their work:
Theater Titanick has been touring work since 1990, and all around the world at various major festivals. The Titanic show was their first major success. While most of the performances have been in Europe, the Titanic work toured to Pittsburgh in October 2004.
The photos are certainly spectacular and combined with the descriptions of the show suggest a dark caberet interpretation verging on Grand Guignol, quite different to anything in the Titanic musical.
Has anyone seen this Titanic production? I'd love to know more.

Here's a description of their work:
Fascinating enormous objects. Live music. Special effects. With atmospheric images, Theater Titanick tells of mythical themes, of humanity, nature and technology. The moods carry the plot - wild actions and poetic scenes with bizarre humour and grotesque characters.
Theater Titanick is rooted in the tradition of European folk theatre. It combines this with modern forms of expression. The aim is to create a world of images, which can be understood by people of all cultures. And it is these images which have captivated and fascinated audiences the world over.
