The Brave Tin Soldier

Like so many of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tales, The Brave Tin Soldier is a story about an outsider. A spoon melted down to make tin soldiers gives only sufficient metal for 24 complete soldiers; the last little soldier has only one leg. Although he can stand just as upright as his comrades, this defect means he is fated to take a different path in life.

The Meininger Theater had actually been scheduled to perform this French adaptation of Andersen’s classic in the Erholungshaus last season, but was forced to cancel when Stefan Wey became ill. Now Bayer Arts & Culture is making up for the cancelled event. The performance in French is aimed in particular at bilingual families and language students of all ages and levels.
