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.

Boko Yout, led by Paul Adamah, is the outsider that infiltrates the mainstream. This Swedish group has forged a singular sonic identity through an audacious collision of punk-funk rhythms, raw alternative-rock textures and off-kilter experimentalism. The music feels at once riotous and ritualistic: visceral, disruptive and rooted in a free, conscious spirit. Known for intense, boundary-blurring performances that verge on catharsis, Boko Yout unfolds a radical, unpredictable universe that demands attention.
