HANS: My Life in Fairy Tales
Premiering in 2025
Wondrous and hilarious, HANS conjures the life and stories of Hans Christian Andersen, from his poor childhood as an “Ugly Duckling”, to fame across Europe. Beloved tales like “The Little Mermaid”, "Princess and the Pea", and “Little Match Girl” come to life as you’ve never seen them before: through puppetry, live video, clown, slapstick comedy, opera, and an original accordion soundtrack!
