"Hausregisseurin Wu Tsang und ihre Performance Gruppe Moved by the motion richten (...) ein visuell und akustisch perfekt inszeniertes Spektakel an."
Radio SRF 2 Kultur

In 1881 Italian author Carlo Collodi created a character that was to become world-famous: Pinocchio, literally ‘pine eye’. The wooden puppet managed to learn a few things from his erstwhile fellow trees: he is generous, curious and fearless. And he wants to be a real boy: ‘I’ve got no strings’. Director, film maker and performance artist Wu Tsang and her group Moved by the Motion explore what it means to be a ‘real human being’, what’s so great about it and whether a forest might be able to teach us humans a thing or two about ‘humanity’. The enchanting staging and the reinterpretation of the character retrace Pinocchio’s kinship with the great tree community. On a shimmering mirrored surface and in front of a huge video wall, the actors transform into trees, puppets and surprising ‘beings betwixt’. Fantastical costumes, movement and music, poetry and animation combine to create a theatrical experience for children and adults alike.
