The musical "Hansel & Gretel," the improvisational comedy "Jamming," and the 4th Education Congress are this weekend's cultural offerings.

A new version of Hansel & Gretel

On Friday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m., a reimagined story of Hansel and Gretel premieres at the Teatro Municipal. Did you think the story ended with a lit oven? Get ready for a new and exciting adventure that revisits the Brothers Grimm classic, 20 years after the events we all know. Join Hansel and Gretel on an adventure where technology and magic intertwine like never before seen on stage!

We find ourselves in the present day, where two siblings, seemingly separated by fate, are reunited: Hansel, a skilled gamer passionate about video games, and Gretel, a fearless police officer with a brave heart. The two are guided by messages to the door of the mysterious bakery "El Horno." There, they are greeted by Gregor, the witch's crazy henchman, and the witch herself, now young and captivating thanks to magic.

Almost without realizing it, they'll taste those poisoned sweets again and find themselves drawn into an epic adventure full of secrets, riddles, and lots of goodies. They'll revisit the witch's cottage, now modernized and filled with muffins, cookies, and utensils that sing and talk. They'll discover that they're the souls of the children the witch has managed to capture for years. They must rescue them. To do so, they'll have to travel through the enchanted forest, filled with magical creatures and unexpected challenges, to obtain the ingredients for the potion that will bring them home and free all those souls trapped in the sweets.

Throughout their journey, Hansel and Gretel discover the power of teamwork and the importance of family, while facing obstacles that defy both technology and magic.

A show full of unexpected twists, endearing characters, and a story that reinvents the classic tale to delight the whole family. Don't miss it!
