Thessaloniki Children’s Stage Welcomes the New Season with a Unique Story: “Hansel and Gretel: The Story Reimagined”
Based on the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, “Hansel and Gretel: The Story Reimagined” comes to life in an enchanting musical and dance performance, adapted and with lyrics by Sofia Dimopoulou, directed by Paschalis Arampatzis, and featuring music by Aison. This captivating production will be staged at Orfeas Cinema-Theatre for just two performances: on February 1st at 5:30 PM and February 2nd at 11:30 AM.
Our story follows Hansel and Gretel, two siblings who bicker “like cats and dogs,” on their adventurous journey to find a magical flower that will heal their sick mother and “bring light to their new beginning.” During their trek through the forest, they encounter an unexpected twist: a wicked witch who is also searching for the same flower and traps the children in a house made of sweets! Who is this mysterious figure, and what secrets does she hide? Can Hansel and Gretel uncover the truth and complete their mission?
With the help of young audience members and the guidance of the Wise One, the siblings will learn that cooperation is the only way to reach their destination, and kindness is the key to achieving one’s dreams.
“Hansel and Gretel: The Story Reimagined” is an exciting adventure filled with dance, music, suspense, laughter, and emotion. It blends magic with reality, highlighting the power of perseverance, the importance of forgiveness, and the need for inner transformation.
