Die Schneekönigin

A shard of glass has lodged in Kay's eye and won't go away. It clouds his vision and turns the boy's heart into a lump of ice. Brrrrr, the world turns cold and Kay becomes a puke. Eww, roses! Eww, nice people! Kay even becomes terribly nasty to his dearest friend Gerda. When one day he leaves with the sledge and doesn't come back, nobody mourns him anymore. Except Gerda. She doesn't give up on her friend and sets off to drive the cold out of his heart.
The Snow Queen by Andersen is rich in motifs and intricate stories. It is a highly imaginative story about the threat of losing a friendship and the power of not giving up on each other. The TDJW takes up the fairy tale with lots of artificial snow and confetti and asks what kind of ice this story can melt today.
