Little Red Riding Hood
Compagnie Sylvain Huc
Toulouse / France
Performance Programme

A duo of dancers performs this well-known tale with visceral energy and in a non-Manichean way. Fear inhabits this choreographic tale without words for two modern-day protagonists. She, a red hood, feminine and naive. He, a black hood, frightening and fascinating. On a bare stage, where the lights alternate between deep blacks and bright whites, their bodies convey strong emotions, their mouths blow, laugh, gasp. Off to the side, a musician-tinkerer works to create Hitchcockian atmospheres that laughter often thwarts. The choreographer Sylvain Huc, rummages through the entrails of this ancestral tale and offers a troubled, carnal and agitated version, far from narration.

About the Artists

The Compagnie Sylvain Huc was born out of the creation of Little Red Riding Hood in 2011. Since then, Sylvain Huc has written 8 other plays, including one for young audiences, Wonderland, co-hosted in 2023 by KLAP Maison pour la danse and Théâtre Massalia. 
An associate artist of the Gymnase - CDCN Roubaix and the town of Tournefeuille (France), Sylvain Huc is also developing a teaching activity, teaching professional audiences.
While he places the body at the centre of all his work, he likes to relate it to a sound and light environment in which it unfolds, in turn savvy or wild.
