For this production, performers and directors Nina Ballester and Nina Cruveiller drew inspiration from Joël Pommerat's Little Red Riding Hood, which returns to the essentials and tells this famous tale from another angle, that of the heroine's solitude, confinement and desire to escape. The actresses tell the story, not embody it: for this show, minimalism is the order of the day, with no sets, costumes or props to allow the audience to travel through their own imaginations, following the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

It's an intriguing, out-of-the-ordinary show, so come and see it with your family from November 4, 2023 at the Théâtre de la Huchette!
