Artists and lovers Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill have been creating The Making of Pinocchio since 2018, alongside and in response to Ivor’s gender transition. In this ‘funny, clever and thoughtful two-hander, rich in playful imagery’ (The Guardian) their tender and complex autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the lying puppet who wants to be a ‘real boy’.Set in a fictional film studio, you are invited to go behind the scenes of Cade & MacAskill’s creative process and their relationship, and question what it takes to tell your truth. “The desire to be seen as oneself is a universal need. It should also be a human right” (Jussi Sorjanen, &).
“The virtuous manner in which the piece is performed and constructed is fascinating” (Kerstin Schroth, Moving in November). With an ingenious scenography, layered with sound, lights and cinematography, the show constantly shifts between fantasy and authenticity, humour and intimacy, on stage and on screen.
This “ravishingly beautiful’ (The Arts Desk) show is for anyone seeking to explore the sheer joy and limitless potential of queer imagination. Audiences called it unmissable, breath-taking, phenomenal, showstopping and the queer love story of the year.
★★★★ ‘The wondrous trans tale of Pinocchio… A funny, clever and thoughtful two-hander, rich in playful imagery and direct-to-camera asides, about identity, definition and acceptance… The satire is gentle, but the politics are clear.’ - The Guardian
The performance language is English, and subtitles in Finnish and English will be projected on stage.
