Pinocchio(live)#3 (Festival LUTKE)

In Carlo Collodi's story, a small wooden puppet wants to become human. In Alice Laloy's play, the opposite happens.
Children turn into puppets. Alice Laloy's Pinocchio(live)#3 is a dizzying disruption, as the puppets do not become human, but children who, with the help of adults, become puppets. Dressed up, with clothes and strings, their bodies become mechanical and their gestures inexpressive. The performance, on the border between dance, visual art and performance, offers a vivid experience of metamorphosis that is as fascinating as it is strange. In the factory imagined by Alice Laloy, Collodi's famous fairy tale takes a completely different turn. The blue fairy, who gives life to the wooden doll, is no more; it is the living who are transformed into inanimate, standardised objects.

La Compagnie S'Appelle Reviens was founded in 2002 by Alice Laloy, winner of the prestigious French Molière Prize. With the company, she develops an exploratory theatre in which puppets, materials, machines, actors and sound compositions come together in socially critical yet poetic performances.
