Velvets Theater gGmbH

On a "peep-box stage" lined with black velvet at Velvets Theater Wiesbaden, black-masked actors lead puppets and other objects through a narrow alley of light. Only the objects hit by the spotlight cone become visible to the audience, while the players remain hidden in darkness. This allows the most amazing effects to be created, blurring the boundaries with reality and transporting the audience into a world of magic and illusion full of poetry and enchantment.

Under the hands of the woodcarver Geppetto, the figure of a boy is created from a piece of pine wood. He names the boy Pinocchio, wishes he were alive, treats him as a living boy and teaches him to walk. The puppet Pinocchio runs away from home, behaves like a naughty rascal, skips school and falls into the hands of greedy villains in the shape of a cat and a fox, chooses false comrades and even gets into danger of his life. But his conscience, which he refuses to listen to, warns him, sometimes in the form of a cricket, a fairy godmother or a dove, accompanies and protects him in all dangers. After many adventures and wanderings, Pinocchio meets his father Geppetto again in the belly of a whale. Both are rescued and Pinocchio is reborn as a real boy. For school children & adults
