ILLYRIA: - PINOCCHIO
Carlo Collodi’s classic favourite - Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet, little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement, only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers.
He returns home, hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves.
Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful, well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre.
Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.
