Program Notes:
We all smile when we hear the name Pinocchio: the wooden puppet with its growing nose, its creator Geppetto, the talking cricket, the cat and fox, and of course, the Blue Fairy… We usually perceive Pinocchio as light-hearted and carefree, but beneath this vivid and colorful story lies something sophisticated and deeply touching. This is the story of a puppet that learns the hard way how to find its identity and forge its own path in society, how to learn from tough lessons, how to care for others, and how to take responsibility. Pinocchio grapples with moral dilemmas of good versus bad, unfolding one after another in a seemingly simple yet amusing manner. Among other children's stories, Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio presents a model of storytelling as education.
