HÄNSEL&GRETEL: A SWEET ESCAPE
Queer Fairytale Performance
Dinner with the family. Gretel can't manage to eat anything except for her fingernails, while Hansel can't get enough. Since his thyroid cannot compensate for binge eating in the long run, but he absolutely does not want to gain weight, he demands a firm hand from his parents. Because the brats' consumption behavior also does not align well with the local inflation, the mother is forced into the role of the evil stepmother, and the well-known fairy tale can unfold. Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in the forest and can't find their way back. But suddenly, the bitterly cold darkness gives way to a seductive landscape of cream with a mysterious magical lady as the topping. With her, there are not only plenty of cakes but also the antidote on top: an elixir that satisfies the annoying hunger and helps with nail-biting. Hansel and Gretel desperately need the recipe.
