Robin Hood Inspired by the novel of Alexandre Dumas and the Ballads of Robin Hood, the show portrays the exploits of the most famous outlaws, smart and infallible archer, Prince of thieves and undisputed master of Sherwood Forest. In the woods, Robin Hood lives his adolescence by training to become a defender of the weak. He tries to build, along with his companions Little John and Lady Marian, a society based on freedom, equality and social justice. The characters, taken from British folklore, are between legend and reality, in a setting populated by mocked and unjust kings, heartless sheriffs, innocent victims and young lady looking for love. A tale about the generosity of a man who fight in defense of the oppressed. In the visual environment of Sherwood mazes born from the collaboration between the choreographer Loredana Parrella, the designer Elisa Bortolussi and dramaturge Roberta Nicolai, is a show for three dancers/performers, an actor/narrator and the animation of original drawings. The musical path start from the Celtic tradition to became a contemporary musical atmosphere. In the dance performance, music and animation tell the exploits of a hero that who grows to become a free man, in a poetic synthesis of animated projections, stage action, music and narration. A re-reading set in modern times that keeps a prose with some medieval references. A light-harted and dynamic show, suspended between reality and dream that reveals a better world. Love, honor, friendship and solidarity can win the fight against the abuses. Suitable for ages between 7 and 13 years old. |
