Play by Julia Haenni
With texts from the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault and Mathilde Lehmann
"When Little Red Riding Hood came into the forest, she met the wolf. But Little Red Riding Hood did not know what an evil beast it was and was not afraid of it."
Brothers Grimm
If I wear a little red cap, everyone will love me. Right? The fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" is about being careful and vigilant. Women* can't be safe anywhere. They are not safe in the forest, not at night, not during the day and certainly not at home in their own bed. Because there are wolves in the forest. Wolves attack, bite and devour anyone who gets in their way.
"Wolves" tells the story of four Little Red Riding Hoods who no longer feel like playing the victim. They become Little Red Riding Hood in wolf's clothing and take their story into their own hands. They want to change something, intervene, initiate, get things rolling. What happens when no one in the forest wants to be the perpetrator or the victim?
