Wie hängen sie zusammen

A fascination with ghosts was an integral part of 19th-century culture. It represented a loophole in the dominance of reason and scientific progress. Contact with ghosts became a speculation in the hands of many illusionists, for whom projections were an ideal medium. But they also served the artistic sphere, equally full of ghostly themes. Thus was born the idea of involving ghost projections onto the theatre stage.
