Interpretive dance - Hansel and Gretel (pt 1/3)

The story begins with hunger. Sitting around the table the family ponder a meagre meal. Hansel and Gretel dream of roast chicken and cake, but all there is to share is a single gherkin. The stepmother shares the gherkin out, giving herself by far the biggest portion. Hansel and Gretel hear their parents argue through the wall. The stepmother urges their father to leave them in the forest. Hansel has a plan, and slips outside to fill his pockets with pebbles. After a restless night, their father takes them into the forest and leaves them there. Hansel's plan works, and the pebbles lead them back home.
