A Fairy Tale All Made of Sugar is a story about one Little Red Riding Hood, one Grandmother and one unusual Wolf who likes children but loves sweets and cakes even more. Who would want to eat Grandma instead of a chocolate cake anyway? Using one of the most famous fairy tales of the Grimm brothers, we examine the importance of villains in fairy tales and what they mean in the story. Whether Little Red Riding Hood can even exist without the Big Bad Wolf can be seen in the puppet show A Fairy Tale All Made of Sugar.
The Virovitica Theatre performance was created in cooperation with the City Theatre Joza Ivakić Vinkovci.
VIROVITICA THEATRE, REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
The tradition of the Virovitica City Theatre dates back to 1900, when actors from Virovitica performed the play Servant Musicians at the Grčić tavern, accompanied by the tamburitza orchestra Sloga, thus giving birth to the city’s theatrical life. After World War II, the ensemble and the whole theatre became professionalised. The Virovitica Theatre marks over seventy years of professional theatrical engagement, with over four hundred premiers and ten thousand plays performed.
The Virovitica Theatre annually shows six premiers and over two hundred plays. That means that every citizen of Virovitica attends our theatre at least once a year. That information, along with the numerous awards and nominations from various festivals in Croatia, the region, and beyond, serves as a big accolade for Virovitica Theatre and places it at the centre of theatrical life in Croatia.
