Hansel and Gretel

The story of Hansel and Gretel is both about growing up and about taking responsibility and standing up for ourselves and our loved ones. The story encourages children to set off on their own explorations, even in the realms of their own imagination. In fairy tales, all difficulties can be overcome—not only the real ones, but also the dangers created by an overly anxious imagination.

Although Hansel and Gretel is a terrifying horror story, the stage production is exciting and entertaining, humorous and instructive. Love triumphs over fear, Gretel saves them both from the witch, they return home, and their evil stepmother is punished.

Dance theatre for children has a magical effect on young audiences: the music, the visuals, the beautiful sets, the costumes, the lights, and the choreography captivate their senses. The performance will have an innovative visual setting, with music composed for the occasion by composer Jean-Philippe Heritier.

Yvette Bozsik has created emblematic children’s productions for many age groups, the most memorable of which are The Magic Circus, Pinocchio, and Hungarian Folktales.
