Snow Queen indeed, but not frozen. This is the story of the original, forgotten Snow Queen, written in 1844 by Andersen.
This play, which premiered last season, was Johanna Boyé’s first Comédie-Française production, and an opportunity to return to Andersen’s original story: Gerda and Kay are inseparable playmates until one day, when injured by two crystals from a broken mirror, the young boy’s temperament changes: he becomes spiteful. He then disappears, kidnapped by the mysterious Snow Queen. Waiting to hear from him, Gerda decides to travel the world in search of her dear companion. This heroin, intrepid as can be, crosses the path of the Great Troll and his crew, the Glasses Princess and her Prince, a humorous Crow and an adorable Reindeer, an old Bandit, a Witch, and other classic tale characters. After facing many dangers, her grit allows her to pass the necessary tests to retrieve Kay from the mythical Ice Palace. Her production follows Andersen’s plot, based on the legends of the North, and leads us through forest and snowy lands to meet mischievous Trolls, the Magician or the Little Brigand, but also the Reindeer and the Crow.
Johanna Boyé tackles a story filled with powerful female figures and fashions a visual fairyland for the theatre, allowing the actors to lean on illusions, magic, whimsy and humour. Her version respects Andersen’s plot, based on Northern tales, and takes the viewer through the snow-covered forests harbouring the Snow Queen, the initiatory figure. After a fantastic journey sealing their friendship forever, Gerda and Kay are ready to enter adolescence.
Please note this show is set at a special time suited for children: performances take place at 7 p.m.
