This engaging and insightful interpretation, based on the original book by Collodi and performed by Vardimon’s multi-talented dancers, brings to life the famous marionette as he embarks on a wonderful journey of discovery to become a human boy.

 

Showcasing Vardimon’s uniquely theatrical choreographic and directorial style, Pinocchio combines physical theatre, innovative technologies, text and dance to examine the idea of what it means to be human.
