The adventures of the famous wooden puppet in the conflict between duty and inclination
The woodcarver Geppetto creates a puppet from a piece of wood - it is to become his son Pinocchio and provide for his livelihood. However, Pinocchio does not stay at home with his father, but runs away. Disregarding all warnings, he throws himself into the temptations of the wide world, full of curiosity and a hunger for life. After all, isn't it much more exciting to go to the puppet theater than to sit around at school? Without any knowledge of the world, Pinocchio becomes a pawn between good and evil. He falls for false promises and becomes entangled in tall tales. After his many adventures, will he manage to become a real boy in the end?
The production was supported by the Sparkassenstiftung Erfurt as part of a project grant.
