Theatre criticism trio

Pinocchio

In the theatre criticism trio, some of the most exciting theatre experiences this spring are discussed. The topic of this conversation is the Festival performance Pinocchio, which runs from 23 to 25 May.

Carlo Collodi's story of the wooden puppet who wished to become a human with free will can easily be read in relation to today's developments in artificial intelligence. But how is the art form of the performance – puppetry and figure theatre – faring?
