Światowej sławy baśń braci Grimm od wieków budzi dreszczyk emocji i utrwala w naszych umysłach obraz złego wilka oraz naiwnego dziecka. Ta nowa, artystyczna interpretacja zaskakuje i jednocześnie zaprasza do odkrywania złożoności baśni w jej wszystkich aspektach poprzez szczegółowe, wieloznaczne obrazy. Dodatkowo wzbogaca poważny temat o humorystyczne detale i gry poszukiwawcze. Artystka Katharina Naimer sprawia, że wilk wydaje się sympatyczny, niemal zespala się z naturą, stając się częścią lasu. Bez łagodzenia przesłania niemal całkowicie rezygnuje z przedstawień, które mogą przerażać dzieci. W centrum uwagi znajduje się dziecięca chęć przygód, która prowadzi do pierwszych doświadczeń poza rodziną. Pozytywna ciekawość staje w obliczu wielkiego niebezpieczeństwa, które dziecko ostatecznie pokonuje. Archetypowa sytuacja baśniowa symbolizuje samodzielność dziecka, gdy po raz pierwszy wyrusza do przyjaciół lub do szkoły. Nie bez powodu Czerwony Kapturek należy do najbardziej znanych i lubianych elementów niemieckiego dziedzictwa kulturowego.
