PREVIEW NIGHT: Melody Mennite’s ‘The Wolff’

  • Gibney: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center 280 Broadway (entrance at 53A Chambers) New York, NY 10007 United States (map)

The classic story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ as you’ve never seen it before…

The Wolff' is former Houston Ballet Principal and AVID dancer Melody Mennite's creative reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, in which convention is challenged and fear confronted through vivid kinesthetic storytelling.

“What if the wolf was never the villain?

When creating ‘The Wolff’, I kept asking myself that question. Wolves bring balance to ecosystems and are deeply respected in many cultures, yet our stories often cast them as the antagonist.

In this retelling, the wolf isn’t the villain. He exists as he does in nature—connected to the forest and the elements—serving instead as a guide, reminding us of balance with the natural world.”

~ Melody Mennite, Choreographer
