Hans & Gret

Hans & Gret description

How do you grow up in a world that’s anti-ageing?

When Hans and Gret’s mum arrives home from a radical health retreat with the years literally shaved off her, their lives are thrown into chaos.

As parents become teenagers again and kids all over their community start disappearing, the pair are led down a seductive forest path that will see them leave everything they know behind. Part teenage fever dream, part dystopian nightmare, Hans and Gret reinvents the classic fairytale for a new generation. This collaboration from South Australia’s internationally lauded Windmill Theatre Company and creative technology innovators Sandpit is a psychological thriller pulsing with danger, betrayal and dread.

Hans and Gret is an anarchic, edge-of-your-seat world premiere that plunges audiences into a dangerous world of seduction and mind control where nothing is what it seems and immersive audio technology is used to whisper secrets directly into your ear.
