Some feedbacks from our audience for "Hänsel & Gretel. Lost & Found"
The performance of Hansel and Gretel by the small theater company Betwixt and Between was an innovative and skillfully executed play for the young and young-at-heart! Both the children and their accompanying adults sat mesmerized for the entire play as it moved back and forth between German and English, fantasy and reality, music, dance and dialogue. What a wonderfully creative performance by a small but talented company. Children – and all of us – could use more of this kind of theater!

Besonders in Erinnerung bleiben mir die wunderbaren Tanz-Moves und die toll ausgewählte Musik, und nach wie vor bin ich baff, dass ich schon nach zwei Minuten nicht mehr merkte, dass alles zweisprachig war, so selbstverständlich wirkte das.

​About the play
What is fear and how do you address it? The protagonists of "Bye bye Basel" are taking these questions as starting points to encounter some fearsome monsters and ghosts from Basel.

A play about Basel, courage and sticking together and with dialogues in English, German and Swissgerman.

For families, Basel enthusiasts, language nerds, the young at heart and children from age 6.
