Gretel et Hansel

In a reinterpretation of Hansel and Gretel, the famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, Suzanne Lebeau engages in a dialogue with her own childhood and with the children she sees growing up around her. She explores the powerful and rarely acknowledged desire to be the sole object of one’s parents’ love. The existential shock caused by the arrival of a second child gives rise to a love-hate relationship that is as delightful as it is unsettling...

Through the lens of daring theater, the fairy tale—which allows for every excess and every possibility—places the characters in extreme situations. Poverty, abandonment in the forest, the risk of being devoured: the sibling bond is severely tested, to the point of paradox.
