Pinocchio(live)#3

The idea here is not to give the illusion of life to an inanimate form, but the opposite. Alice Laloy transforms real children into puppets. The artist, who was awarded a Molière in 2009, is inspired by the myth of Pinocchio to turn it inside out. Here we are in a workshop that looks like an assembly line. The universe is dystopian. And the experience is fascinating.
