About this show

It's been ages since Pinocchio became a "real boy". Now nearing life's end, he faces his toughest quest: rescuing daughter Carla from the adventure-less modern world. Joined by old friends – greatly changed over decades – it's a daunting task. Success demands one last clever lie. A poignant, magical twist on the classic tale, blending nostalgia, family bonds and timeless mischief for all ages. Directed by Francesco Angeloni.
