A new wave of enchantment sweeps through the heart of Paris with the arrival of the Hansel and Gretel recital at Le Lucernaire. Scheduled to run from September 13, 2023 to January 14, 2024, this event brings a fresh and innovative twist to the beloved Grimm brothers' tales.
This new addition to the Parisian theatrical universe is the creation of Bérangère Gallot, who also handled the interpretation, bringing the characters to life with fellow actors Lucas Bottini, Laurent Labruyère, and Alice Serfati. The show is directed by Benoît Lavigne, whose meticulous work infuses the soul of the tale with a special atmosphere and cachet.
Aimed at audiences aged six and up, the show takes us back to the world of Hansel and Gretel, two children living at the edge of the forest. Their story unfolds in the midst of a famine, when their parents, unable to provide for them, are forced to abandon them. But the children's cunning and the magic of the little white pebbles they sow in the forest make the story more complex and fascinating.
Luck, however, doesn't last. On their second abandonment, they end up in a house made of gingerbread, inhabited by a terrifying witch who likes her children crunchy. The tale of Hansel and Gretel is presented with a touch of fun and poetry, while retaining its original sinister atmosphere.
An original creation, Hansel and Gretel after the Brothers Grimm can be seen for the first time at Le Lucernaire. Please note that it is essential to respect the schedule. The theater does not admit latecomers, as the show starts on time.
The Théâtre Lucernaire is an independent arts venue renowned for its commitment to presenting quality shows and innovative artistic works. Its mission is to present works that question and arouse the curiosity of its audiences. This new show is perfectly aligned with this vision, offering a modern and captivating interpretation of the famous story.
Hansel and Gretel After The Brothers Grimm promises an enriching early autumn theatrical experience for families and theater lovers alike. It's a not-to-be-missed opportunity for those wishing to immerse themselves in the magic of a century-old story, while discovering new perspectives and interpretations.
