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
«Sometimes being brave helps us to look deeper into a matter!»
What is fear and how do we deal with it? These questions are pondered by three travelers who unexpectedly find themselves in Basel. Luckily, Basel has several stories of ghosts and monsters to offer. Supported by playfulness and joyful storytelling the travelers reinvent these legends from Basel. And find their own solution, what «being brave» truly means.
A production by Betwixt & Between Theater based on the books «Basels Hidden Stories» and «Basel. The Graphic Novel” by Jeanne Darling with dialogues in English, German and Swiss German.

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