All Soul Production presents 6 Pinocchios, an experimental theatre production inspired by the children's tale The Adventures Of Pinocchio by Italian author Carlo Collodi and Six Characters In Search Of An Author by Italian dramatist Luigi Pirandello.
All Soul’s next production, 6 Pinocchios , will make its debut later this month.
Directed by Maurizio Mistretta, the story tells of six superior puppets who get out of an ancient wardrobe after centuries of a long sleep. They are surprised to see that everything is not like before. Combining Collodi's children's novel with research of sincere realism in opposition to the pessimistic relativism of Pirandello's philosophy, the play reflects an innovative way to refresh the Italian performance tradition La Commedia dell'Arte.
