A Question: “If Pinocchio has no ears, then…?”

Franziska Füchsl and I reinterpret Collodi’s Pinocchio through text, sound, and movement. While she explores language and narrative, I translate the character’s gestures and sounds into visual and choreographic scores. Together, we dismantle and reimagine the story, revealing the poetic depth of the original text beyond Disney’s simplifications, culminating in the theater piece Collodi’s Schit.
