Mistakes aren’t necessarily something bad; they are often the only way to teach us how to better understand and change our lives.

Centuries ago there lived …”A king!” my little readers will say immediately. No, children, you are mistaken. Once upon a time there was a piece of wood.” That’s how Collodi’s novel begins.

And with a mistake and a piece of wood begins our play. The puppeteer’s toolbox, old puppets, and the ones that were just designed become our stage and our characters. The story reveals completely new meanings.

Pinocchio is not an ordinary performance. It is a performance that immerses itself in the puppetry world, immerses in the origin when the puppet is not yet an entirely manufactured and vivid object, but raw, rough material. In this adaptation, we return to the carpenter’s workshop where the carpenter’s tools revive, and pieces of wood on the carpenter’s table become a world of its own. Pinocchio goes on a journey, and we on an exploration of puppetry approaches.
