Location- The Ark, 11a Eustace Street
Description- So you think that you know the story of Goldilocks? Think again!
This summer, enter the world of SCRAPEFOOT, a walk-through visual art experience for audiences of just four people at a time.
Goldilocks wasn’t always blonde! In fact, over time she has morphed from a fox called SCRAPEFOOT into an old hag, and finally into the Goldilocks we know today. What remains the same in each version of the story, is that they each entered a house in the woods (when nobody was home), to feast, sleep and shelter.
Now it’s your turn to explore this enchanting house but beware of the three figures who might come home earlier than planned! Have you always been a porridge fan? Is it really trespassing if the door was open?
You will take the lead in your own immersive adventure, piecing together what really happened or what nearly happened or indeed what could have happened on that fateful day…
Cost- €6-7.50
Time- 10.30-12.30
