📖 A poetic exploration of nature and fairy tales

The performance invites audiences to follow a rare researcher inspired by Maria Sibylla Merian, the 17th-century naturalist, adventurer, and painter. Equipped with tweezers and a flashlight, Sibyla investigates, studies, and catalogs insects, plants, and mysterious presences discovered in the forest.

Through these discoveries, ancient fairy tales come to life, weaving together with her personal journey. Using figure theater techniques—shadows, puppets, and objects—alongside an evocative vocal and sound environment, the story of Little Red Riding Hood gradually unfolds with all its archetypes and symbols.
