In the Realm of Shadows

In the Realm of the Shadows is a museum experience in an unprecedented dimension. Wall-to-wall projections onto massive ancient burial monuments carry the audience straight into the thrilling adventure in Roman Trier. Through the combination of authentic original exhibits and animated film sequences, spoken word and music, a poetic play evolves in which the ancient bas-reliefs come to life.

Over the course of 45 minutes, you'll be taken through the story Gaius Albinius Asper who is offered passage to the shadowy realm of the dead to find his deceased wife. While he meets a cast of colourful characters, he also has to deal with the god Mercury who is trying to make him forget about his wife.

In the Realm of the Shadows is implemented with state-of-the-art technology and according to high artistic aspirations. The scriptwriting was supported by archaeologists and historians from the Landesmuseum Trier. It can be viewed in German, English, French or Dutch.

Tickets are available before the performance at the Tourist Information Trier and at all affiliated advanced sales agencies such as Kartenvorverkauf Trier, Cathedral Information, Trier Arena and Press Point. The Landesmuseum sells tickets only at the museum box office.
