The Hobbit
In 2014, Victoria adapted the beloved novel by J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, for the stage with Daniel Gardini and directed the production at the Theatre CPO for The Village Players of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Bilbo Baggins is a quiet, sensible fellow who has no use for adventures. Nasty business! - they make you late for dinner. Until, one fine morning in May, when the wizard Gandalf crosses his path and is determined to send him away with a company of dwarves on a quest for dragon-guarded gold. During this epic journey, he will not only discover quite unexpected things about himself, but he will also learn the value of friendship, bravery and mercy.
“19 actors, fantastic fights, beautiful songs and an enchanting atmosphere characteristic of Tolkien's universe ... rediscover the legendary adventures of The Hobbit in a truly unusual way. Simply unmissable.” Loisirs.ch
