”Pinocchio has been interpreted in music, film and told as a fairy tale but right now it is most of all theatre…. and what a theatre!!! ”...”With Dritëro Kasapi as a director the performance has none of the old fashioned moralising over laziness, lies and disobedience but rather more of the lifes soft values like friendship and trust…” ”… death is always lurking behind the corner but the seriousness of the topic is compensated beautifully by the huge amount of phantasy  through out all of the performance. ” - UNT

 

”…. it is far from the sugar sweet film version of Disney and has none of the stories moralistic finger pointing””…it speaks about identity seeking, trust and empathy as being the core of the human. The brutality of the original story is present, but intertwined with philosophical reflections and mind-blowing poetry…”  ”…The story takes place in an imaginative nostalgic circus milieu with a scent of Fellini and a touch of commedia…”  ”… it is a cleverly effective staging that shifts between ”playing theatre” with glitter and burning magic and washing the whole stage in colours…” - SR
