Little Red Riding Hood

With a new adaptation of the beloved fairy tale that generations have grown up with, the Cyprus Theatre Organisation's Stage 018 opens its season. Little Red Riding Hood arrives in a contemporary adaptation by Andri Theodotou and with the poetic directorial vision of Fotis Nicolaou, to touch the hearts of young and older audiences alike.

The small and big questions of life, plenty of humour and a generous dose of imagination promise a performance that will take us on a journey through a magical setting where anything can happen.

The journey of a child, Little Red Riding Hood, through the forest becomes a symbolic coming-of-age journey in which the heroine is called upon to confront anxieties, desires and dilemmas. The Wolf, in a contemporary portrayal, acts as both an external danger and an inner voice of uncertainty, while the forest is transformed into a landscape of emotions, shapes and colours, where the heroine encounters unexpected allies and companions.

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

THOC brings together a creative team that combines experience, sensitivity and a contemporary artistic perspective, creating a distinctive world for audiences. Ecati creates an atmospheric musical setting. Eleni Ioannou brings her signature contemporary aesthetic to the set design, while Sofia Mavromichali adds her magical touch to the costumes, bringing the beloved characters to life. The design and construction of the masks is undertaken by acclaimed mask maker Martha Foka.
