trail of crumbs

The story is the same, but the world has changed. Trail of Crumbs: a Recurring Dystopia for Hansel & Gretel uses a classic story to examine a world in which children are broken and destroyed. Abandoned by their parents, Hansel and Gretel find themselves caught in a struggle between two violent ideologues. Between the opposing camps moves a third, more seductive force. In a place where children are lost to violence and extremism, Hansel and Gretel quickly lose their ability to distinguish between right and wrong. They lead the audience on a dangerous journey between the mythical and the real, discovering the darkness of what lies within the forest.
