H&G: A Great and Terrible Story

Production of a new multimedia music theater piece freely inspired by Anna Maria Hong’s novella, “H & G,” a cubistic re-envisioning of the Grimm’s tale of Hansel and Gretel as a surreal, feminist hero’s journey. Here abandonment, enchantment, and the fear of being consumed challenge the protagonists to imagine the unimaginable: how do you give birth to the self you want to become when everything is stacked against you?
