Participants will devise a Museum Theatre piece which will be included as a part of the Museum Theatre Festival from 3-6 November. In 1946, Ukrainian woman, Olga Basylewycz created a handmade quilt featuring Little Red Riding Hood, whilst living in a displaced persons camp in southern Germany post world war II. This quilt, which can be interpreted as a vivid allegory of Nazism, became an innocent wall decoration at a Melbourne kindergarten, before being donated to the National Museum through the Museum's migrant heritage program. Participants will view this historical artefact and devise a Museum Theatre piece inspired by the detailed depictions of Red Riding Hood and the wolf as an allegory for Nazi Germany. The performance will be included as a part of the Museum Theatre Festival from 3 – 6 November.
This workshop will conclude with a performance at the National Museum of Australia.
