As it’s getting colder and we are slowly, slowly gathering around the fireplace, we start to miss the fairytales told by our grandparents. That is why Ion Creangă Theatre has prepared a show based on one of the most beautiful stories of Hans Christian Andersen, The Snow Queen. The story, which begins with “Once upon a time…” talks about a chilly winter, about the most ordinary town and about a being that tries to destroy the fragile balance of the world. The Snow Queen is not only the classic tale about good versus evil, but a universe filled with powerful and complex characters, humorous dialogues and action scenes full of suspense: a world in a cristal globe in which it slowly snows.
