HANS
My Life In Fairy Tales
Wondrous and hilarious, HANS conjures the life and stories of one of the world's great writers, Hans Christian Andersen, from his childhood as an "Ugly Duckling" cobbler's son, to fame across Europe. Beloved tales like "The Little Mermaid" and "Little Match Girl” come to life as you've never seen them before: through puppetry, video, clown, opera, and an original score played by a live accordionist!
