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.
