Hansel et Gretel

Booking Required

Hansel and Gretel is a playful, musical retelling of the Grimm tale by Collectif Ubique. With three chairs and eight instruments — theorbo, lute, musical saw, violin, clarinet and percussion — a trio of actor-musicians rapidly change roles and instruments in inventive, joyful turns. Original compositions, sung and chanted texts and physical theatre conjure a poetic, slightly mad world where the witch and the gingerbread house are freshly reimagined for young audiences.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.

Five selections from Georg Philipp Telemann’s “Quadri” or Paris Quartets bring the art of musical conversation into focus.

Chouchane Siranossian (violin), Karel Valter (traverso), Jonathan Pesek (viola da gamba), Hadrien Jourdan and Marc Alomar (continuo) shape a lively dialogue across sonatas, concertos and a suite.

Brazilian duo DEAFKIDS unleash a turbulent live collision of electronic fury, feverish organic percussion and raw punk energy, drawing on Afro-Latin rhythms, rapid-fire drums, 808 bass-drum pulses and walls of fuzz. Their set centres on *Cicatrizes do Futuro*, released on Neurot, and moves through Guaguancó, acid house and ritualistic noise. KOMBI, the project of João Kombi (TEST), opens with an immersive exploration of drones and noise, using electric guitar, voice and effects. Alan Bolumar and Carl shape the night with two specially curated record sets.

From Germany, Sinnthese brings a mischievous, restless strain of synth-pop, threading exploratory new wave through sound collages and absurdist-realist text fragments. The solo live set draws on a Korg MS-20 and a mix of songs and lyrics. Japanese sound performer Fairymarichel shapes an improvised electronic world with modular textures, moving between noise, avant-garde experimentation and fractured tanz-techno. Le Horla and Sofy Maladie complete the bill with a specially devised record set, extending the evening’s adventurous, shifting sonic palette.
