Time and Place: 1930’s, Eastern Kentucky Hansel & Gretel Bluegrass runs approximately 75 minutes
and is performed without intermission
Why this old tale?
Hänsel und Gretel was first published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812, but
versions of the tale go back to 17th Century Italy. Stories of child
abandonment are thought to have originated in the medieval 1300’s
during the Great Famine, which actually drove desperate starving people
to leave their children in the woods. But today the idea of leaving your
kids to fend for themselves in hope of a better life seems...well, simply
unfathomable.
As we worked on this story over the past few years, we struggled to
justify this fundamental plot point. Then, one day last summer, our
Director of Latino Theatre connected the dots for us, pointing out that this
is still happening today with thousands of unaccompanied minors from
Central America being sent up alone to the U.S. on trains in hopes of a
better life. It is still happening today, in fact.
Desperation also took hold of Appalachian miners during the great
depression. The coal companies owned everything leaving little for the
miners and their families to survive on.
The reason we decided to tackle this centuries-old story is because it
reflects the resilience of the urban youth we work with every day. Most of
us already know that Hansel & Gretel survive their ordeal, but we thought
real life kids would benefit from seeing other kids as empowered
survivors. While today, Hansel & Gretel would likely find their way home
with their Breadcrumb GPS App, modern kids still face many challenges.
And however plugged in they may be, most kids at some point feel all
alone. Even old classics still serve a purpose. That’s why this old tale of
Hansel & Gretel. That’s why.
