Trail of Crumbs: A Dystopia for Hansel & Gretel

The story is the same, but the world has changed. 'Trail of Crumbs: a Dystopia for Hansel & Gretel' reinterprets a classic story through a modern lens.

Abandoned by their parents, Hansel and Gretel find themselves caught in a struggle between two vicious ideologues. Between the opposing camps moves a third, more seductive force. In a place where children are lost to violence and extremism, Hansel and Gretel quickly lose their ability to distinguish between right and wrong. They lead the audience on a dangerous journey between the mythical and the real, and together discover the darkness of what lies within the forest.

This ensemble-created production is the first collaboration between The Circle Theater of New York and the National Theater of Luxembourg. 'Trail of Crumbs' will premiere in New York City in April 2015, and then transfer to the National Theater of Luxembourg in June 2015.
