"Spring will come on its own. You don't have to do anything."
Somewhere in a land in the far, cold north live two children who are together every day. They are inseparable. Gerda and Kay ice skate together, throw snowballs, and romp among the rose bushes. Their village is paradise on earth. Until one day the Snow Queen appears and kidnaps Kay to her ice palace. Soon no one believes Kay can be rescued anymore, but little Gerda doesn't give up. She puts on her red boots and sets out to find her best friend. Her journey takes her to an enchanted flower garden, a glittering golden palace, and the dark robber forest. But Kay is nowhere to be found. With the help of blue birds, reindeer, and wise women, Gerda finally reaches the ice palace and looks into the eyes of the Snow Queen!
"The Snow Queen" is a story about growing up, which is a difficult and sometimes lonely adventure. It requires perseverance, courage, and a loving heart.

The Snow Queen

Staatstheater Hannover

“I wish we could just be there touching kissing listening to some soft music with only the sky and stars above us, forgetting about our history, our wars and everything that might tear us apart.”
Welcome! Come in! Celebrate with us, listen to music with us, reflect with us on love, on despair, on the fear of loneliness—and on courage. Because sometimes it takes great courage to show your true self. Together with the new ensemble members of the Schauspiel Hannover and an international dance ensemble, writer and director Falk Richter explores stories of pride and shame, of life as a queer* person, and of the fears and hopes that come with coming out. The media crossover production "PRIDE" invites the Hanover audience on a striking journey through the resistant, invisible history and present of the Federal Republic of Germany (and Lower Saxony). The achievements and the current threats to the struggle for equality and freedom for all people are narrated by a diverse ensemble from different generations and with different perspectives—creating a multi-layered, intimate portrait of Germany in the fall of 2025.
