„"Little Red Riding Hood? Again?"

Yes! Dozens of generations have answered this question for over three hundred years, since the appearance of the written form (1697) signed by Charles Perrault.

Why wouldn't I answer, especially since, I admit, it's not the first time... (It was my first attempt to dramatize a story for staging in a puppet theater). It's the most famous story in world culture, it has had various retellings and rewritings by anonymous or great writers such as: The Brothers Grimm (1812), Alphonse Daudet (1862), Ludwig Tieck (1800) in different literary formulas - fairy tale, poem, novel, tragedy...

How could we avoid this treasure? Every generation must meet the «big bad wolf» and the beautiful and naive «Little Red Riding Hood». Because in real life everyone has met or been a «beautiful and naive Little Riding Hood» or a «big greedy wolf»… The different interpretations (folklore, psychoanalytic, religious, feminist) given to the story of Little Red Riding Hood over the centuries, depending on the mentalities of the respective era, show that the theme of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf will not be exhausted anytime soon…

So, the Arcadia Troupe of the Regina Maria Theatre invites you to see the newest version after Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, dedicated to children between 3 and 11 years old." Maria Mierluț
