Crossing the Line: Little Red Riding Hood October 20, 2007

In the beautifully concise, archetypal language of fairy tales, Joel Pommerat rewrites the steps of the most famous walk through the woods, preserving its original structure while teasing out a profound rite of initiation and passage. What results is a crisp, wholly modern interpretation of a bittersweet classic. No less appropriate for adults as it is for children of all ages, this delicate story is perfect for anyone who has ever faced fear, loneliness or the ambivalence of growing up. The show is in French with English supertitles.
