The Austrian premiere of Flying Hansel & Gretel was a success, evidenced by minutes of standing ovations following the first two performances in Vienna and Graz, marking an inspiring start to the tour. The Flying Steps have already captivated their Austrian audiences in Vienna and Graz with their unique interpretation of the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
The power of social media – a fairy tale brought into the present
How can the world’s most told fairy tale take flight? Vartan Bassil, the founder of the Flying Steps, provides an answer that is both simple and striking: “Today’s children have a hunger for attention, and the irresistible allure of the gingerbread house is the impact of social media.” The digital realm where Hansel and Gretel become lost feels like a grand promise: a fairy-tale world where wishes appear to come true. “Social media provides children with something they can never get enough of,” Vartan Bassil states, “and it consumes them entirely. Social media is devouring our children!” With top international stars, the Flying Steps showcase their performance at an astonishing dance level, enhanced by musical highlights from various genres, including opera, hip hop, pop, and beatboxing.

Flying Hansel & Gretel: A Modern Fairy Tale Experience in Austria
Austrian Premiere: A Magical Start to the Tour
The Austrian premiere of Flying Hansel & Gretel was a resounding success, captivating audiences in Vienna and Graz. The performances were met with enthusiastic cheers and standing ovations, reflecting the show’s inspiring start.
The Flying Steps, known for their innovative blending of dance and music, captured the essence of the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm while infusing it with contemporary relevance. The vibrant choreography and music resonated deeply with both children and adults, making it a must-see event across Austria.
The Power of Social Media in Modern Storytelling
Vartan Bassil, founder of the Flying Steps, highlights the compelling connection between traditional fairy tales and today’s digital age. He remarks, “The hunger of today’s children is the hunger for attention. And the temptation of the gingerbread house that they cannot resist is the power of social media.” This insight reveals how social media transforms accessible storytelling, creating a relevant bridge to younger generations.
The narrative of Hansel and Gretel is not merely a tale of adventure but a cautionary story reflecting the potential perils of the digital age. Bassil cleverly notes, “Social media feeds children something that they cannot get enough of… and eats them up, skin and hair. Social media is eating our children!” This metaphor vividly illustrates the overwhelming presence of social media in today’s youth culture, making it a central feature of the performance.
The show seamlessly integrates various musical genres, including opera, hip hop, pop, and beatboxing, presenting a dance spectacle that is both captivating and relatable, further enhancing its appeal to a diverse audience.
