Many years ago a terrible curse hit the west side of the forest causing over time the soils were drying up, the fruit trees dying and the animals disappearing.

All the families were living with great difficulty, including the family of Hansel and Gretel who, in despair, decided that the best thing would be to sell the house and land to start over.

The two brothers, aware of this reality, are terrified but, motivated by the love they had for the house where they were born and their parents, they decided to venture into the forest in an attempt to help them.

They live an unexpected adventure crossing the wisdom of the Old Oak, the wickedness of a fado Witch, a bumbling crow and the animated tiktoker’s birds, always surrounded by a magical, mysterious environment, full of color and lots of music.

In an enthralling story full of magic and mystery, the audience is led by the friendship and unbreakable complicity of Hansel and Gretel.

An adventure that shows us that despite all the adversities, the unconditional love that unites the family becomes a determining factor for a happy ending.

Hansel and Gretel aim to delight children and adults from the age of 3 onwards. An original show, with costumes, scenography and original music, all ready for the whole family, with an approximate duration of 50 minutes.
