Titaninnen
The story of Titaninnen revolves around Lu and Ika, two inseparable sisters who have sworn eternal loyalty to each other. But their promise is put to a severe test when one of them must find her place at the Prussian court. Their unwavering bond stands at the heart of an epic tale that unfolds between 1780 and 1810.
Production Design – A fusion of authenticity and mysticism—crafted in light, texture, and memory.
The visual concept of Titaninnen reflects the emotional depth of the story, creating an immersive world that oscillates between historical authenticity and artistic interpretation. Lu and Ika, two inseparable sisters, are tested by their unbreakable bond and their quest for freedom in a society governed by rigid rules.
While the Rococo of the Frederickian court, with its opulence and playfulness, represents youthful exuberance, a distinctly different visual language unfolds in the abandoned water castle. The strict Classicism of this setting is defined by the unique, historically authentic wallpapers of the time, whose elaborately printed scenic designs extend the spatial perception beyond physical boundaries. Here, a near-ritualistic atmosphere emerges – a deserted, lyrical place that signifies more than mere retreat. Through the interaction of cubic structures with the graphic elements of the wallpapers, spatial perception is transformed, leading to a new, almost dreamlike dimension.
Caspar David Friedrich, though belonging to a later era, influences the visual language with his visionary interpretation of nature and transience. Luise and her sister appear as heralds of a new age – independent, deeply connected to the earth, yet surrounded by a transcendent beauty. Light and textures play a central role in the set design: shadows sculpt the depth of spaces and imbue them with a quiet drama, while carefully orchestrated lighting nuances emphasize the mysticism of this world.
