Cruella de Vil and the Fairy Godmother

Abstract

In this article, I reflect on the importance of critically analyzing the cultural products aimed at children. To achieve this kind of analysis, my students and I have developed a performative exercise in which we have co-created a theatrical piece. A fragment of the script appears below where we appropriate and reconstruct the contents of children’s films from a critical point of view. For those who participated, this performance produced a transformation in our representations. The performative exercise highlights how, through critical analysis and performance, we are able to reconstruct those characters we have known and loved since childhood.
