Pinocchio

A Teater Patrasket Production | Denmark

• Ages 8-12
• 60 minutes

This isn’t Disney! Based on Carlo Collodi’s classic story, “The Adventures of Pinocchio,” Teater Patrasket from Denmark brings us a mad adventure for ages 8-12 that is a long way from Disney’s version from the 1940s. Told by clowns in a a musical circus universe, this retelling has puppet boy Pinocchio learning about what it means to be "real" through a dangerous journey full of odd characters, temptations and deceptions. Touching and hilarious with a dark humour and European steampunk vibe, it’s a wild show that adults will love too as it explores the perils of parenting while asking some of life's biggest questions: What does it mean to be human? What is the meaning of love?
