And now for something completely different: an adrenalin-pumped acrobatic & flying Snow Queen spectacular, by Irish company
Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theater (don't you love that name?)
While the aesthetic seems harsh initially, I have a feeling it would work really well live. Doesn't it seem as if Cirque Du Soleil went to the Winter Olympics to play out their latest fairy tale there? Such a unique take - and it works, fairy tale magic intact and everything. This would be a perfect year to see this production, though unfortunately I can't see any indication that it's been performed since 2011.

| Wow - does that look like a giant shoe to you too? Was that intentional?? |
Fidget Feet's most recent production (Dec 2013) was The Elves & the Shoemaker, which I will have to look up again when photos become available, but they also did an aerial take on Red Riding Hood call
Catch Me.
Looks like a company to keep an eye on, especially with regard to unique interpretations of fairy tales.
(Stay tuned for one last theatrical production in this recent retelling roundup.)
