Description

Experience two versions of this play. Once classical and once modernly adapted.

Both plays back to back, approximately 60 minutes running time. Recommended for ages 6 and up.

Hans and Greta – A fairy tale from the world of tomorrow

What happens when Hänsel and Gretel live in the 21st century? Instead of bread crumbs, there are data cookies, and instead of a gingerbread house, a neon-lit electronics store awaits. When Mrs. Hexa enchants the parents with VR glasses and feeds them into her network, it’s up to the siblings to pull the plug. Armed with wit, a laptop, and a real sheet of paper, Hans and Greta take on the fight against a total system crash. Fun for the whole family – guaranteed without battery time!

Running time: approx. 30 min.

Suitable from 6 years.

Warning: Analog live experience!
