Description

The journey of an unruly puppet, launched into the world with his desires, his lies, and his dreams of humanity.<div> Created at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2017, Pinocchio brings together the musical world of Philippe Boesmans and the theatrical writing of Joël Pommerat in an opera that is as poetic as it is striking.</div><div><br></div><div> Between fable and traveling theatre, this coming-of-age story explores the passage from childhood to consciousness, in a world where the wondrous rubs shoulders with the harshness of reality. For this new production by the co[opéra]tive, director Ambre Kahan imagines a free and vibrant space, populated by creatures, where singers and musicians become members of the same troupe. Driven by the musical direction of Léo Margue and the shimmering score of Boesmans, this vibrant reinterpretation restores to the famous puppet all its emotional power and sense of adventure.</div><div><br></div>
