IMAGINE! 2025 | Maria Carmela Marinelli & Elettra Bargiacchi: Who wants to frame Rotkäppchen?

In the organizer's words:

As part of IMAGINE! 2nd International Festival for Narrative Art in Chemnitz, Dresden & Leipzig

What did Little Red Riding Hood think when she realized that there was no grandmother in her bed? And what did the princess do when she found a hard pea under her bed? Good advice was expensive. One saving idea and the tables were turned in no time! Stories of clever, cheeky girls with fire in their blood, told in a different way, who think outside the box in times of need!

Storytelling: Maria Carmela Marinelli - www.seedingstories.com
