It’s Tuesday night in The Pit and two bald, middle-aged French men are telling a story. In many ways it’s an old story: girl meets boy, falls in love, goes on an adventure in which they lose and then find one another again. In many more immediate ways, it is not. The man to my right, Romain Bermond, is etching a park boulevard with geometric detail in real-time. Opposite him, the man to my left, Jean-Baptiste Maillet, is playing a drum kit with one hand, space-rock synths with the other and a harmonica in-between. They are Stereoptik and Stellaire is a love-story mime. It is also set in space.

Seeking inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen’s 1844 classic fairytale The Snow Queen, Disney’s 2013 smash hit Frozen adapted by Jennifer Lee re-imagines the magical story of the eponymous figure in the form of Elsa, a Princess-turned Queen of fictional kingdom Arendelle. Adapted into a stage musical by popular demand, the production sparkles, reminding us all of the power of imagination.
