PINOCCHIO

A dream in which you will not be afraid to dream

Who doesn’t know Pinocchio? The strange boy whose nose grows when he lies?
Pinocchio doesn’t want to go to school, he doesn’t like listening, he can’t stand authority, and he hates injustice… What does his father think about it? Doesn’t he prefer to have peace and quiet and let him do anything he wants? – Do not expect an idyllic fairy tale! You will discover the world of children who do not agree. No, no and no…

Carlo Collodi’s cult title, adapted by French theater author and director Joël Pommerat, explores modern themes through the story of the famous long-nosed Pinocchio.

Why do children lie, why don’t they want to grow up, why are they maladaptive, constantly resisting? How do you make sense of anything in today’s world? Who is a child and who is an adult? What is the truth and what is just an illusion? What is true, what is false? How much truth is there in what is said to be true? And why is the truth sometimes so cruel?
