Lutke Festival: Pinocchio(live)#3
In Carlo Collodi’s story, a small wooden puppet wants to become human. In Alice Laloy’s play, the opposite happens. Children turn into puppets. Pinocchio(live)#3 is a dizzying disruption, as the puppets do not become human, but children who, with the help of adults, become puppets. Dressed up, wearing clothes and strings, their bodies become mechanical and their gestures inexpressive. The performance, on the border between dance, visual art and performance, offers a vivid experience of metamorphosis that is at once fascinating and strange. In the factory imagined by Alice Laloy, Collodi’s famous fairy tale takes a completely different turn. The blue fairy, who gives life to the wooden doll, is no more; here it is the living who are transformed into inanimate, standardised objects.
