This is the last podcast episode from this year’s Journées de la Francophonie (07.03-16.03.2008) in Wrocław.
Arka Theatre presented a theatrical adaptation of 2 of the most famous tales by Charles Perrault: “Le Petit Chaperon rouge (Little Red Riding Hood)” and “Les Fées (Diamonds and Toads).” The play was made primarily for children, but, just like the original stories by Perrault, it was just as enjoyable for the grown-ups. In our interview, the actor Alexandre Marquézy briefly explains the idea behind this adaptation.
