A wolf is going to hunt. Any animal of the wood can do, the most important is to calm down the hunger. But his favourite prey is Red Riding Hood. Like in a recurrent dream or in a vision he worries about the details of her capture: a path full of wonderful flowers is the perfect trick. But this will cost his life. As it is written, since ever. In this show called life, he is not only a wolf, but THE WOLF, who doesn’t win…but never dies. Relationships among characters and the story dynamics reveal on the stage through the body, a non-spoken language inspired by the early nineteenth century’s cartoons; lights, costumes and setting consist of a dance made of symbols and painting citations (Goya, Turner, Bosch, Leonardo da Vinci) which redraw the tale by the simplicity of what exists since ever and forever.
LA LUNA LETTO was born from the research on children and adults who take care of them and the study of the constituent elements of 2002 Children’s Theatre. Thanks to the clever artistic direction of Michelangelo Campanale and to the professionalism of its artistic and administrative staff, the Company produces and distributes Children’s Theatre performances and plays, organises and manages Italian and international tours for Children’s Theatre as well as for contemporary theatre and prose theatre. In 2002, they started to put on stage award winning performances, such as the “Sleeping Beauty”– The Old Man and The Sea” “Cinderella – Across the Universe”, “L’abito nuovo” written by E. De Filippo and L. Pirandello. In 2015 the performance “Cinema Paradiso” was shown in the prestigious Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro Bogotà FITB gaining huge success.
The Company’s last production “Little Red Riding Hood” directed by Michelangelo Campanale, choreographed by Vito Cassano with EleinaD’s dancers made its debut in May 2018 at Maggio all’Infanzia Festival, in coproduction with Bari’s Theatres and Taranto’s CREST. “Little Red Riding Hood” was well-received both by the critics and the audience for the great artistic level expressed by the Company and for the network created in the Italian region.
