The Wolf’s Deeds: What if the wolf isn’t the bad guy?
Gogo Fakou-Theodoraki’s children's theatre stage and Mikros Kerameikos Theatre present “The Wolf’s Deeds”, an interactive and entertaining theatrical experience for children aged 3 to 10.
Opening: Sunday, October 18, 2026 | Every Sunday at 3:00 PM | Mikros Kerameikos Theatre
What if everything we have always heard about the Wolf is not quite the whole story?
Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs are two of the most beloved fairy tales that have accompanied generations of children. This time, however, the story takes an unexpected turn as the Wolf gets the chance to tell his side of the story.
For years, he has been considered the “bad guy” of the story. But what if he has been misunderstood?
With the help of the children, the Wolf tells his own version of events in an attempt to prove his innocence. Through humour, music, dance, improvisation, interactive games and direct interaction with the young audience, the two classic fairy tales are presented from a completely different perspective.
The children are not simply watching the story unfold. They become part of it! They interact with the characters, participate in the action and, ultimately, get to decide whether the Wolf is truly guilty or has simply been misunderstood all these years.
A fun performance with an important message
Beyond entertainment, the performance uses the world of fairy tales to introduce children to important values in a simple and creative way. Acceptance, solidarity, inclusion and justice are at the heart of the story, encouraging young audiences to look beyond first impressions and consider different perspectives.
After all, perhaps all of us have been the “bad wolf” in someone else’s story at some point.
Written and directed by Gogo Fakou-Theodoraki, who has many years of experience in theatre and also works as an educator and special education teacher, the production is designed to encourage children to participate, express themselves and have fun throughout the performance.
With a running time of 70 minutes, “The Wolf’s Deeds” is an entertaining theatrical experience for the whole family and an invitation to rediscover two classic fairy tales from a completely different point of view.
