The fairy tales, which almost two hundred years ago were among the first written down by the German linguists and storytellers, The Brothers Grimm, and which, adapted to the taste of the then bourgeoisie , were first published in the Book House and children's stories, have to this day experienced many animated, stage and dance adaptations, including in the Koper Theater.
But if the Koper Frog King in a dance "disguise" still talks about compromise, about the need to fulfill a given promise, and between the lines also about growing up and maturing, Red Riding Hood in Bukinc's choreography gets a kinder, even comical image, because the Wolf spares Little Red Riding Hood, and it is also spared the Wolf, who does not end up dead at the bottom of the well, but wanders deeper into the forest because of her grandmother's fists and never returns.
Pravljci, ki sta ju pred skoraj dvesto leti med prvimi zapisala nemška jezikoslovca in pravljičarja, brata Grimm, in ju, prirejene okusu tedanjega meščanstva, prvič objavila v knjigi Hišne in otroške zgodbe , sta do danes doživeli številne animirane ter odrske in plesne priredbe, tudi v Gledališču Koper.
Toda če koprski Žabji kralj v plesni »preobleki« še vedno govori o sklepanju kompromisov, o tem, da je treba dano obljubo izpolniti, med vrsticami pa tudi o odraščanju in dozorevanju, dobi Rdeča kapica v Bukinčevi koreografiji prijaznejšo, celo komično podobo, saj volk prizanese Rdeči kapici, prizanešeno pa je tudi volku, ki ne konča mrtev na dnu vodnjaka, temveč zaradi babičinih pesti odtava globlje v gozd in se nikoli več ne vrne.
