Hansel & Gretel

In our reimagined telling of the classic tale, Hansel and Gretel journey through the forest, unaware of the traces they leave behind. When they lose their way, they encounter a host of spirited beings who open their eyes to the living rhythms of the natural world. Co-choreographed by George Liang and Harris Beattie, this ballet for children weaves storytelling and movement into a vibrant exploration of ecological awareness, reminding us that wonder and sustainability can dance hand in hand.
