𝑨 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒔!
This sumptuous retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale is a feast for the senses. Choreographer Loughlan Prior—also an established dance filmmaker—has conjured a surreal world inspired by the silent film era and vaudeville music halls. He has meticulously designed the adventure through the eyes of a child.
Join the young protagonists as they encounter the mystical Sandman and his sparkling Dew Fairies, the Ice Cream Witch, a sinister chorus line of pink-iced gingerbread men and many other memorable characters.
This decidedly brighter interpretation of the original tale pairs perfectly with composer Claire Cowan’s captivating score that recalls the era of Hollywood musicals. Southam Hall stage will be illuminated with the exquisite dancers of the RWB who are thrown numerous comic and lively opportunities to showcase their artistry.
A scrumptious treat for the entire family!

𝑼𝒏𝒆 𝒗é𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒇ê𝒕𝒆!
Cette relecture somptueuse du conte des frères Grimm est une véritable fête pour tous les sens. Le chorégraphe Loughlan Prior, également cinéaste, s’est inspiré de l’âge d’or du cinéma muet, du music-hall et du vaudeville pour développer un monde surréaliste perçu à travers les yeux perspicaces d’un enfant.
Suivez les jeunes protagonistes dans leurs rencontres avec le mystérieux marchand de sable et ses fées de la rosée pétillantes, la sorcière à la crème glacée, un étrange chœur de bonshommes de pain d’épice glacés et bien d’autres personnages inoubliables.
Cette interprétation résolument lumineuse du conte original s’accorde parfaitement avec la partition éclatée de la compositrice Claire Cowan qui nous transporte à l’époque des comédies musicales hollywoodiennes. La Salle Southam sera illuminée par les formidables interprètes du RWB qui auront de nombreuses occasions de mettre en valeur leurs prouesses de façon ludique et animée.
Un pur délice pour toute la famille!
