Pommerat and his Compagnie Louis Brouillard make
their much-anticipated New York premiere with a stark retelling
of Little Red Riding Hood.
In the beautifully
concise, archetypal language of fairy tales, 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. |
