The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theater announces a new premiere of the 2022-2023 season: "The Three Little Pigs", an adaptation of Walt Disney, directed by Daniel Vulcu, which will take place on Sunday, October 23, at 11:00 AM, at the Arcadia Hall.

"The Three Little Pigs" is one of the stories that has long opened children's interest in literature and the world of books. Over time, it has known several variations, but the main idea has remained similar: three little pigs, pursued by a greedy wolf, each build a little house to protect themselves. The older little pigs, somewhat lazy and comfortable by nature, build shaky constructions, which the wolf knocks down without much effort, while the younger one, industrious and thoughtful by nature, builds a solid house, which the big and bad wolf does not even manage to shake.

Like every immortal fairy tale, the importance of the story lies primarily in the message it conveys to children, namely that in life we cannot always act according to the pleasure principle, as the two older pigs do, but we must build a solid foundation to be able to face the dangers that may arise, like the little pig. It can also be seen as an allegory of the fact that all children grow up and must make their own choices, which can be bad or good.

The story became famous worldwide with the 1933 Disney animated adaptation, based on the version by Australian folklorist Joseph Jacobs, in which the big pigs save themselves by taking refuge with their little brother, and together they manage to outwit the wolf.

The text on which the Arcadia Troupe's performance is based is inspired by the Disney adaptation and was adapted to our culture and times by Andrei Mihalache. The direction is by Daniel Vulcu, who has staged shows for children before, one of the most beloved being "The Goat with Three Goats", which has been in the repertoire of the Oradea children's troupe since 2012.

The creative team also includes Dorin Griguță, who signs the musical composition, the set designer Oana Cernea, the prop designer Răzvan Chendrean and the painter Mădălina Baciu. The cast of the show includes actors: Alexandru Pop, Andrei Fazecaș, Carina Bunea, Armanca Serac and David Constantinescu.

The premiere is already sold out. The second performance is scheduled for October 29, at 11:00 AM, at the Arcadia Hall, and tickets can be purchased from the theater agency, open Tuesday and Thursday between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM, Wednesday and Friday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and Saturday between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, online at Eventim.ro or one hour before the show at the Arcadia Theater (subject to availability).
