SYNOPSIS
Pinocchio(live) is a stage performance designed for 22 performers, children and young adults, and 2 teenage percussionists. Two versions currently exist, with the third currently being created with residents from the North of France : Pinocchio(live)#3.
The performance is the result of a photographic research project conducted by Alice Laloy between 2014 and 2018 entitled Pinocchio(s).
This project reverses the research process realism of the puppetry arts. Rather than animate the inanimate, it is a question of going from the living to the puppet. Like a rite of passage, adult performers transform child performers into puppets, before the children themself re-appropriate their body through dance movement.
