Little Red Riding Hood (hunting fairy tale)

Mom fills the basket with treats every day, Little Red Riding Hood carries them through the forest to Grandma, the Wolf invariably devours Grandma and, a moment later, the granddaughter, the Forester heroically saves everyone and... we start from the beginning. Mom — treats, Granddaughter — with a basket, Wolf — devourer, Forester — hero. Or maybe one more time? Children love to listen to the same stories over and over again. Routine, safe knowledge of the content, no surprises — there is a lot of charm to capturing fairy tales, but let the parent who has never said “Maybe something else now?” raise their hand. What if something had gone differently in this famous story? Maybe the whole action would sprinkle like a house of cards? Or if the story of Kapturk derailed from the beaten track of the story and fell into the maelstrom of the unknown? Can you imagine what would happen if the forester was late? Or did he not come at all? What if he got the wrong way? What if the Wolf had not devoured Grandma, and if Grandma had devoured the Wolf in horror? The results of such experiments can be funny or scary, or terribly funny or ridiculous-scary.

The creators of the play Red Riding Hood (a hunting fairy tale), based on the text of the wonderful Bohdan Butenka, will present to the children both a well-known fairy tale and its version “and what if”. They will invite viewers to lively reactions, perhaps they will also allow them to decide the course of events?! Instead, they warn that there may be reflection in the Viewers — what scares us more: the daily routine, the repeatability, the pattern or perhaps the uncertainty of tomorrow, unpredictable twists and turns, the unknown, the unknown?

The task was carried out thanks to the financial support of the city of Warsaw as part of the implementation of revitalization projects.
