Webbed

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

Exploring traditional story telling I came to think that we need a retelling of some fairy tales or create new ones. To challenge once and for all the ‘happy ever afters’ deeply imbedded in our psyche, Webbed takes a twist on the traditional ‘Red Riding Hood’, ‘Red Shoes’, and the institution of marriage. It proposes a reading that gives a truthful ending as suppose to one devised to blind and control women’s freedoms. This new tale explores our relationship to ‘the other’, understanding that ‘the other’ belongs to a world very different to one’s own.
