Hansel and Gretel are hungry. This life-threatening situation affects one in five children in Kassel, due to rising food prices and poverty rates. Hunger is literally eating Hansel and Gretel from the inside out. They can only dream of a gingerbread house decorated with their favorite sweets. When they spill the milk, their impoverished parents punish them by sending them into the forest to gather berries. Desperate, the siblings set off, but they can't find their way back home. In the enchanted fairy-tale forest, Hansel and Gretel encounter all sorts of fantastical creatures who help them on their adventure, until suddenly the famous question, "Nibble, nibble, little mouse, who's nibbling at my little house?" echoes from the woods.

Hansel and Gretel

Staatstheater Kassel

Can looking to the stars save humanity on a destroyed Earth? Can the savior of humanity still be a bad father? In Christopher Nolan's 2014 film epic "Interstellar", humanity searches for its future in the infinite expanse of space. The Earth is destroyed and can no longer produce the food that billions of people need to survive. But the search for new lands demands personal sacrifices. And it is rarely altruistic. When the former fighter pilot and adventurer Cooper sets out on an interstellar search for the future, he simultaneously makes a decision against his nine-year-old daughter, who has been waiting for him for decades. Nolan's film also tells us that time passes at different speeds, but the past can never be undone.
