She came with a handful of sand and swiftly captured hearts: Irina Titova – the "Queen of Sand"! Now she returns to the stage with her successful production "Around the World in 80 Pictures." A final rendezvous with a journey that has enchanted thousands. A poetic homage that takes you once around the globe, both geographically and emotionally. In 80 impressive sand images, Titova leads the audience on an adventure full of longing, discovery, and magic—narratively and emotionally supported by the distinctive voice of Joachim Kerzel. Starting January 2026, the show will be on tour across Germany.

The fingers of the sand artist "dance" in harmony with the coordinated music over a glass plate covered with sand and illuminated from below.

This creates wonderful picture stories similar to silhouettes, which are filmed by a camera and projected in real-time onto a large screen, making them accessible to a larger audience.

This art form creates a magical atmosphere that no viewer can resist. Especially in today’s digital, fast-paced world, the audience immediately feels how this analog performance fascinates and touches them deeply because of its simplicity.

The seamless transition of images creates a unique animation effect. With just a few hand movements, the artist creates an image — but only for a moment. As soon as the image appears complete, it is wiped away and a new image emerges.

Sand painting thus makes us aware of the transience and uniqueness of every single moment in life. Perhaps this is why sand painting touches the viewer so deeply in the heart…

Whether as a full-length show or a custom-designed performance... Let yourself be inspired...
