“H & G, a great and terrible story” is a cubistic re-envisioning of the Grimm’s tale of Hansel and
Gretel as a surreal, feminist hero’s journey. A terrifying coming of age tale, it bristles with
enchantment of the inner woods in a magical dreamscape of music by turns plaintive, swinging,
and raw. How do children survive abandonment and loss and learn to make their own way in
life?
