Pinocchio

When the tree with the amazing wood falls under the storm, the poor and generous man decides to make a puppet. Pinocchio was born. But he is a naive and cruel child, who dreams of a prince's life.

Joël Pommerat revisits this popular tale by raising the issues of paternity, poverty, education and freedom.

Pinocchio is questioning our humanity:

How to become a human being integrated into the current society without being swallowed, crushed by it?
How to fight against this avalanche of consumer proposals?
How to resist envy? How to recognise the envy from the urge of need?
How not to succumb to the sweet song of the money that sings at the bottom of a pocket?
What are the dangers of shame, the shame of being poor, the shame of being different, the shame of not knowing how to exist?
Where is beauty? Can we be poor and beautiful? How important is beauty?
How to unravel the threads of lies and truth? What are its powers, its dangers?
How is education the key?
How is the constraint creative?
How to become a real child, full of a beautiful potential and respectful of our world?
