PROJECT STORY

A little mouse enters the wood in search of food and outwits a Fox, an Owl and a Snake by telling them about a fearsome creature called the Gruffalo. In Fondazione Aida’s original Italian musical adaptation, directed by Manuel Renga, I played the Fox and the Snake, changing character through costume, movement and performance. My presence in the 2020 production and 2022 performances is documented in theatre and festival programmes; later revivals may feature a different cast.

Two characters, one enchanted forest.
