Gretel lives in a tiny house, surrounded by small and precious objects: a tray, a teapot, a plant, a stool to sit on. She is absent-minded but rigorous, meticulously sticking to her bizarre logic in a world where everything is out of scale and out of place.

But a catastrophe suddenly destroys her home, and Gretel must make her new path alone.

Inspired by fairy tale themes of loss and the search for home, the performer blends contemporary circus, dance, and the manipulation of objects to celebrate migration and the need for reinventing ourselves when everything falls apart.

It is a joyful and profound reflection on the meaning of home and a tribute to determination and perseverance.

“In addition to her clowning and object manipulation skills, Clara Storti is a top-notch aerial rope artist.”  Hystrio
