.h.g. is a reading – and revision – of the classical fairy tale of
Hänsel and Gretel, in the shape of an installation where theatre and
visual arts merge. The spectator walks through 9 different
physical-sensory rooms accompanied and guided by headphones. Each room
is a world on its own, a passage into universes suspended halfway
between reality and dream: here the mind slips into the imaginary and
the external spectator becomes integral part of the experience. The
installation evolves along the points of rupture and intersection of the
story, in search of the links between the world of childhood and the
world of adulthood. Suspended between ferocity and childlike lightness,
.h.g. strives to be an experience both aesthetical and sensorial.
