In his first theatrical production incorporating elements of contemporary circus, Akram Khan, together with Cirk La Putyka, creates a physical experience in which the human body is pushed to its limits to tell a strange, beautiful and dark story of a father and son. Dance, acrobatics, theatre and contemporary circus merge into a single language. The boundaries disappear and the audience is carried away by the story.

In the silence of his workshop Geppetto sits, the last of a line of puppeteers. He has no one to pass on the craft he devoted his life to. Yet suddenly Pinokio bursts into his fading world: a curious and restless creature made of wood. Geppetto spent his life shaping wood, but now he is faced with Pinokio who cannot be shaped. How to lead Pinokio through life without attaching him to himself? How to show him what’s right when he himself is no longer so sure about it?

Pinokio leaves the workshop, longing to become human. In the life of people, he experiences tenderness and cruelty, love and violence, desire and solitude. And the world keeps whispering to him how to behave, who he should be and what he should believe.

But will Pinokio still want to become human, after coming to know humanity in all its beauty and darkness?
