RED OLIVIA

NEW PRODUCTION SEASON 2023-24

Red Olivia is a fearful little girl, sent alone into the woods to discover in the darkness a side of herself that had remained hidden until then.

SHOW IN ENGLISH (A2 LEVEL)

GENRE: theater with strong elements of physical theater and clown

SUITABLE FOR AUDIENCE: children aged 11 to 15 (middle and high school)

The show revisits in a modern key the symbolic archetypes of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale: the transition from childhood to puberty (represented by the color red), facing the fears of a hostile surrounding world (the black forest) , the relationship with the masculine (the wolf) and the phases of femininity (the little girl, the mother, the grandmother).

Red Olivia represents the challenge of individual growth and learning the canons of personal responsibility. The protagonist must learn to face the challenges of the forest alone without being able to rely on the figure of her mother, too busy to accompany her, or her grandmother, represented as a woman afflicted by the ailments of age.

In facing the abyss of her fears, Red Olivia will discover that within her there is a superior strength, which will push her to untie the invisible chains to which she was tied.
