Le Petit Chaperon Rouge au Lucernaire: A Theatrical Reimagining
A new theatrical adaptation of 'Little Red Riding Hood' is running at the Lucernaire in Paris from May 13 to August 30, 2026. The play centers on Éby, a child with chickenpox, who stays home with her grumpy grandfather. To pass the time, they act out the classic fairy tale. Éby revisits the story and rejects its traditional ending. The production explores childhood fears—darkness, the wolf—while emphasizing the reassuring power of speech and imagination. Blending humor, tenderness, and suspense, this participatory reimagining is suitable for children aged 3 and up. Performances are Wednesdays and Saturdays at 3 PM, Sundays at 11 AM. Tickets are a flat €15.
