For centuries, the legendary Robin Hood, a.k.a. the King of Thieves, has emerged from the forest with his motley crew wherever injustice is being committed. He fights alongside the weak and oppressed. In times of corruption and greed, he defies authority by distributing the spoils of his robberies to the poor.
The myth and stories surrounding Robin Hood are about the utopia of a just and respectful coexistence; they celebrate friendship and love and show the potential in the struggle for an alternative to the status quo.
Moved by the Motion, the group around Wu Tsang – Tosh Basco, Josh Johnson, and Asma Maroof – present a new reading of this story from olden times. With stunning visuals, they transform it into a fantastical experience for children and adults alike, while pursuing the political questions: When is theft just, and what promise does the forest hold?
