Red Riding Hood

THOC's Stage 018 opens its season with a new adaptation of the much-loved fairy tale that generations grew up with. Red Riding Hood comes in a contemporary adaptation by Andri Theodotou, with the poetic directorial eye of Fotis Nikolaou, to touch the sensitive chords of young and older spectators.

Life's small and big questions, plenty of humour and a brave dose of imagination promise a performance that will travel us to a magical environment where anything can happen.

The journey of a child, Red Riding Hood, through the forest becomes a symbolic journey of growing up, where the heroine is called to face anxieties, desires and dilemmas. The Wolf, in a contemporary depiction, works as an external danger but also as an inner voice of uncertainty, while the forest is transformed into a landscape of feelings, shapes and colours, where the heroine meets unexpected allies and companions.

The director's rich choreographic background combined with the explosive energy of the cast creates a unique stage world between reality and fantasy. A story that dives into Red Riding Hood's dream forest, speaking of the courage to move forward, to question your fears and to discover your own truth.

THOC brings together a creative team combining experience, sensitivity and a contemporary artistic vision, making a special world for the audience. Ecati creates an atmospheric musical environment. Eleni Ioannou gives the set design her characteristic contemporary aesthetic, while Sofia Mavromichali adds her magical touch to the costumes, giving image to the beloved characters. The design and construction of the masks has been undertaken by the acclaimed mask maker Martha Foka.
