Florent Trochel

When the tree of magical wood falls from a storm, a poor man decides to make a puppet out of it. Pinocchio is born. But he is naive and cruel child who refuses to go to school, only thinks of having fun and dreams of being a prince. So naturally, when his path crosses with two crooks, he can only behave like a blockhead... Revisiting Carlo Collodi's popular tale, Joël Pommerat defends children's right to learn from their mistakes by themselves and to not obey without understanding.

The director, Nicolas Liautard revisits the tale of Snow White in a unique way through a dreamlike and visual spectacle: it is not a theater play because it is not spoken; it is not an opera but there is music. It is a contemporary adaptation combining four actors, puppets and live animals. This performance of great beauty got nominated at Molières 2010 in the category young audience.
