GRETEL
PRESENTED BY DUBLIN FRINGE FESTIVAL
Hansel and Gretel, reimagined for the concrete jungle.
Homes don’t hold. Rules don’t always stick. A sofa appears. A bag must be carried. Two young people navigate a city where survival is learned and protection isn’t guaranteed. Bass travels, the story shifts, and the audience begins to question what they believe in.
With a live DJ on stage, this solo spoken word performance blends rhythmic language with bass, silence and sound to create a live experience where the story is felt as much as it is heard.
Supported by Dublin Fringe Festival’s Break New Ground Initiative, Big Ambitions: a Dublin Fringe Festival & Fishamble: The New Play Company partnership, & Exeter Northcott Theatre. Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios.
