The Brothers Grimm is our annual long show event that invites audiences to (re)discover the enduring power of the Grimm brothers’ folktales. First collected in 17th-century Europe from farmers, midwives, and other everyday storytellers, these vivid and dramatic tales have been retold, translated, and reimagined countless times across cultures and centuries. Despite modern critiques of their dated and problematic elements, the stories continue to captivate, offering wisdom, wonder, and profound insights into the human experience. This event will present a carefully chosen selection of these timeless stories, honouring their origins while revealing their raw beauty and relevance for listeners in Ottawa today.
