Yara and Barnabe are sent into the woods by their grandmother to take some food to their aunt. When a storm breaks out, the children become separated. Barnabe gets lost in the forest. At night, creatures come to life that do not show themselves during the day. They live in darkness. By following them, Barnabe learns their stories about the rainforest. He discovers that his grandmother is seen as one of the ‘villains’ because of her farming methods. When a plan is hatched to drive grandmother away, Barnabe enlists the help of the forest spirit Saci.

With the European fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood in one hand and Brazilian
folktales in the other, Duda Paiva creates a new production about the
wisdom and magic of indigenous peoples, about their relationship between humanity and
nature, the beauty and value of our planet, and the primal power of
collaboration.

In Duda Paiva Company’s children’s shows, the world that
children know from cartoons and games comes to life. Little Red Riding Hood in
Amazonia is a captivating, imaginative experience for everyone aged 6
and up, featuring enchanting imagery and Brazilian folklore.

the show, everyone can come up on stage for a selfie
with the puppets, to ask questions and find out what foam rubber feels like.
