The music

Forget the film everyone knows! This musical show plunges you into the true tale of
The Snow Queen, the one that Hans Christian Andersen imagined long before the famous adaptation.

Back to the roots of the original tale with the adventure of Gerda, a courageous child who sets out to find her best friend Kay, who has been kidnapped by the mysterious Snow Queen. Christophe Sturzenegger's spellbinding music accompanies this journey of initiation, where strings, brass and percussion vibrate to the rhythm of the action and resonate with invisible worlds... An ancestral tale, bewitching and moving, far from what you think you know.
