Hans Christian, You Must Be An Angel

Hans Christian, You Must Be An Angel

Presented by EQT Bridge Theater Series at Trust Arts Education Center

Teatre Gruppe 38

Regional Premiere - Part of the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts


Country of Origin: Denmark

Join the party as your fairytale favorites come together for a dinner like no other in this spectacular immersive theater experience. A long table is set for a birthday party and two waiters are on the job of their life: to wait on a table of fantastic personalities, each with his own peculiar whims and needs, created by Hans Christian Andersen. There are many considerations when 21 different fairytales must be seated at the long table. Headwaiter Bodil, wearing red shoes, and waiter Sille in the galoshes of fortune, experience all the problems you can have when there are many guests.

The rest of us, who have been invited without a seat at the table, look at the magical little things at every setting that tell which fairytale guests have arrived.

“It's so marvelous, so poetic, so adventurous that you almost melt on the walk around the table.” – Western-Posten

“It's not just theater. An enchanting installation for adventure lovers of all ages.” – The Policy
