The Little Riding Hood concert

A multicolored fairy tale with Little Riding Hoods and different stories is staged at the Mongiovino Theater, the puppet theater, for a show-concert with live music, inspired by Bruno Munari's Little Red, Green, Yellow, Blue and White Riding Hood.

Music is the fil rouge of the show, accompanying the Little Hood child and warning her of the dangers she faces, so that she can return safely to her mother. The fairy tale, in fact, even in all its different forms, always contains its original trace.

There is Little Red Riding Hood who has to cross the woods where a wolf lives, to go to his sick grandmother to bring her a flat bread prepared by her mother; or a little girl named Little Green Riding Hood who has many friends among the animals living in the woods: Zip the grasshopper, Giuseppa the turtle, Pisellina the snail and Verdocchia, the frog who accompanies her to visit her grandmother Cicalina. Then there are also Little Yellow Riding Hood who, in order to go to her grandmother, has to overcome the obstacles and dangers of the chaotic traffic of a big city, together with her little bird friends; or Little White Riding Hood who finds herself in a forest covered by a blanket of soft snow to get to her grandmother Candida. Finally, Little Blue Riding Hood who has to face the wolf fish with fins and mask in a large sea, to reach a small island where granny lives alone ...

To so many fairy tales there are many possible endings: the important thing is that, as per tradition, they are all glad.
