The boy who cries wolf

A dark journey into the fairy tale dreams of the Occident with ironic seriousness.

About the production

Reminiscent of myths and fairy tales in the storytelling tradition of the Brothers Grimm, the acrobatic duo Overhead Project and choreographer Reut Shemesh create atmospherically dense scenes in "The boy who cries wolf" with precise body language and subtle humor: an archaic imagery populated by giants and dwarves, demons, wolves and deer, translated into a contemporary aesthetic.
