A dark live audio play that brings Poe into the present

On August 29, 2026, the Christkönig Hall in Fürth transforms into a resonance space for literary thrills, smart dramaturgy, and sharply drawn piano sounds. Michael Herrschel and Lorenz Trottmann combine Edgar Allan Poe's dark linguistic worlds with a musical futurism that makes the stage breathe like a machine of tension and sound.

When literature becomes an acoustic experiment

This musical live audio play does not rely on mere illustration but on condensation. Poe’s stories are considered the foundational material of modern horror and detective literature; at the same time, the production opens the view to those musical avant-garde sounds of George Antheil, Henry Cowell, and Leo Ornstein, which were once regarded as scandalous and uncompromising. From this friction arises a stage experience that closely intertwines text, timing, and keyboard artistry.

Michael Herrschel and Lorenz Trottmann as a precise duo

Herrschel's recitation carries the tension not only through words but through rhythm, breath, and presence. Trottmann’s piano responds with cluster attacks, motoric figures, and futuristically appealing soundscapes. This is precisely where the strength of the evening lies: the direction of listening transforms the hall into a place of concentrated theatrical atmosphere, where every pause, every reverberation, and every abrupt accent has an impact.

Christkönig Hall: Proximity, acoustics, and concentrated encounters

The venue at Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 3-5 provides the fitting framework for a format that relies on immediacy. The closeness between the audience and performers strengthens the audience's reaction, which does not dissipate in great distance but bounces directly back into the space. Accessible entry is documented for the Christkönig parish center for rooms on the ground floor and basement of the Barbara House; the hall itself is listed in the official program as Christkönig Hall.

Conclusion: An evening for lovers of stage, sound, and goosebumps

Those who want to not only see theater but also hear and physically feel it will find an extraordinary event here. Nerves like Steel Cables! Edgar Allan Poe & Piano Futurism promises literary darkness, musical sharpness, and an intensely shaped live experience. An evening that hits the nerve of horror romance and transforms Fürth into a laboratory of imagination for 105 minutes.
