A humorous film about love and transformation - sensitively and masterfully told through the magical story of a wooden puppet.

Rosana Cade and Ivor Mac Askill have been creating «The Making of Pinocchio» since 2018 in response to Ivor’s gender transition. In this digital edition of the work, they masterfully combine their own experiences with the fairytale-like story of the wooden puppet who wants to be a «real boy». And ask themselves the question: What does it take to tell your own story?

In their production, this Scotland-based artist duo invites you to take a look behind the scenes. The audience explores the creation process and at the same time the relationship between the two artists. The video work moves between fantasy and authenticity, humor and intimacy, stage and screen.

Accessibility

Anyone who is unable to attend the season start at the Gessnerallee can watch the digital version of the performance «The Making of Pinocchio» free of charge on our website on both days at 7:30 pm. Subtitles in German and English can be activated in the video player at the bottom right. The video does not contain strobe lights or flashing lights. There is a short section with loud music.

The video will be uploaded here on 27/28 September at 19:30 in the same time as the live performance.

About the artists

Cade & MacAskill are Rosana Cade (they/them) and Ivor MacAskill (he/him): renowned queer artists and facilitators based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work straddles the worlds of experimental contemporary theatre, live art, queer cabaret, film, children’s performance, site specific, and socially engaged practices. Their collaboration is born out of a shared love of subversive humour, experimentation with persona and text, playful theatricality, and the joy they find in improvising together. They also share a passion for LGBTQIA+ rights and culture.​In their performances, Cade & MacAskill create strange, rich aesthetic worlds on stage, with unique sonic elements embedded into their work as part of an ongoing collaboration with sound artist and designer Yas Clarke.
