"Queen of Sand - Irina Titova - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"

She came with a handful of sand and captured the hearts of her audience with her extraordinary talent. Irina Titova is the "QUEEN OF SAND" and knows better than anyone how to bring the fleeting nature of the moment to life in a magical way on stage. Since her first tour in Germany in 2018, she has captivated her viewers, taking them on a sensational journey "Around the World in 80 Images," and will finally delight many shining eyes in 2026 with a new sand painting show.

The theme is "The Fabulous World of Film." The audience accompanies a young man on his exciting journey and immerses themselves in the most beautiful and famous film scenes from the Hollywood dream factory. With breathtaking speed, the Sand Queen creates her images on a backlit glass surface, which are projected onto a screen. Here, the sand protagonist encounters all the great and small heroines and heroes from our favorite films. He meets the alien E.T., who desperately wants to phone home, and comforts him with true friendship in his homesickness. With the luck dragon Fuchur from "The NeverEnding Story," he flies over the world's oceans, travels with Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the DeLorean "Back to the Future," listens once again with Ingrid Bergman to the famous song in "Casablanca," and finally eats chocolates on the legendary park bench as Forrest Gump. And perhaps he will then meet the girl of his dreams, help her with the watermelon, and they will dance together into a happy ending?

Forrest Gump's mom always said that life is like a box of chocolates – and so is the show of the sand artist. You never know what comes next; Irina's hands and the sand are in constant motion as she pours it onto the surface with impressive precision, breathing life into it. The scenes flow seamlessly into one another, surprising, delighting, enchanting, and in the process, the audience also learns about the history of Hollywood.

Accompanied by the unmistakable voice of the internationally renowned German film star Sky Du Mont as the narrator and the famous melodies of the most sought-after composers in Hollywood, such as Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Alan Silvestri, or Giorgio Moroder, the talented artist creates a truly unique atmosphere every evening. As the director and author of this fabulous journey through the world of film, Katrin Edtmeier is responsible, just as she was for "Around the World in 80 Images."

Amidst the beautiful memories of unforgettable scenes and the bittersweet nostalgia that nothing lasts forever, the audience enjoys the fascination of the moment with every grain of sand. Did our young hero really experience all of this, or was it just a dream? One thing is for sure: the story is too beautiful not to be true.
