Pinocchio

Pinocchio is the story of a boy born to his father – a Failed Suicide, and his mother –  War. Growing up in the rubble of a city destroying itself while thinking it’s reconstructing itself, Pinocchio is the story of a boy, told through friends he meets. Friends who thought it was their mistake to exist, who thought they were the Big Lie, until the moment they found out that under the rubbles, where they thought their heart was, their mother had left a corpse with no beating heart. Where is the hero who saved the city? Where are the homes that will keep us home? Where is the sweetness of Arak, and the bitterness of thyme that will bring back the lost son? Where are the sons and daughters who promised reconstruction, revolution, but also peace, and serenity? Nothing happened here… nothing happened here… nothing happens in this play; and there is nothing to see.
