Red Riding Hood

Children's play "Red Riding Hood"

We all know the story: Red Riding Hood goes into the forest to visit her sick grandmother, but the evil wolf is hungry and has other plans. Adaptation by Igor Bojović is an imaginative combination of the classic fairy tale and the modern age. Diverging from the somewhat darker and more sinister tone of the original tale, the play uses verses and witty dialogues to focus on themes of friendship, love and courage. In our production, chatty forest birds are the narrators and directors of the story of Red Riding Hood. Seeing the tale from their point of view makes the situations more playful and accessible to a young audience. This new interpretation reminds us that some things are universal, no matter how much the world changes, and proves that classic fairy tales never go out of fashion.
