Once upon a time, there was a very good girl. And a very evil wolf. And a grandmother who just wanted her granddaughter to bring her cookies to her house in the forest. But that’s just the beginning of a story you already know… or thought you knew. Because now you decide how the story ends in Once Upon a Crime, the new immersive experience in Madrid where you rewrite the ending of Little Red Riding Hood. How? As if it were a scene from a film noir: in an interrogation with a detective.

What is Once Upon a Crime?
A 60-minute immersive theater experience where the main character of one of the most legendary stories of our childhood sits in front of a detective in an interrogation full of tension and dark humor. The best part? You decide whether or not to believe her version and how the experience ends in the final vote. A social investigation for adults over 18 where you can unmask (or not) the protagonist of one of the classic stories par excellence.
Little Red Riding Hood: which version do you know?
Although the best-known version of the story is the one that ends with the hunter saving Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, that happy ending only belongs to the 1812 reinterpretation by the Brothers Grimm. The original story (by Perrault in 1697) ends in a much less family-friendly way: the wolf eats them both and there is no rescue.
During Once Upon a Crime, plot twists, evidence, and clever dialogue constantly place you on the edge between believing what you hear and denying it completely.

Ideal for groups of friends, dates, or simply for lovers of true crime and a good debate, Once Upon a Crime comes to the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid with an immersive experience where you decide whether to believe in happily ever after or not. What we do advise you to believe in is arriving early, because places are limited and there is only one confirmed date.
Forget everything you thought you knew about your favorite stories because everyone has something to hide, but the real question is: will you be able to figure it out?
