COST: €15.00 Theater show

The show weaves together the story of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel and the historical events of the Scholl siblings, founders of the resistance movement to Nazism “White Rose,” with remarkable originality. We are surprised by unsuspected parallels: the metaphor of the forest embodies a treacherous and disorienting historical moment, the witch seduces with the same rhetorical weapons of propaganda, and the promises in both the fairy tale and History turn out to be illusory.

But more than a civil tale, we will be confronted with a succession of suggestions and evocations, of scenes constructed from images and minimal actions, projections, and backlighting. The set design creates a multitude of layers that overlap like in a dream, and the sound fabric vibrantly amplifies the story and envelops the audience.

From this suspended and at times intangible dimension, a question reaches the audience: is a non-violent, non-heroic, daily resistance possible and necessary today, accessible to all?
