Description

Pinocchio

Born from a piece of talking wood carved by the old craftsman Gepetto, the ever-rebellious, carefree, and cheeky puppet Pinocchio will learn about life by going through a thousand and one trials that will force him to face Mangefeu, the terrible director of the Puppet Theater, endure the malice of Mr. Fox and his sidekick, the Cat, escape from Toyland, and save his father from the belly of the giant fish!

Themes addressed in the show: initiation rites, truth and lies, responsibility and disobedience, love for a parent, wonder and adventure.
