The Woods of Little Red is an interactive walk-in multisensory installation space with exciting areas to explore. The work is on the scene of the classical fairytale where Little Red arrives at a crossroads and has to make a choice between two paths: the one mother told her to take and the one the wolf recommends.
The paths lead to different atmospheres in the maze. Sensors responding to footsteps are hidden under the path. On certain spots, a change in atmosphere is created on veiled walls with rear projected, abstract, dynamic images and electronic soundscape.
Thematically the work tells about one’s choices, encounters and growing up (as the traditional fairytales usually do). However, the work is meant to be so abstract and rather atmospheric than narrational that it allows the spectators to make their own choices and interpretations and inspires them to tell their own stories.
