Pinocchio Effect

A family performance for everyone between the ages of 10 to 110 full of humor and seriousness about something we all do: lie. Why do we actually lie, and about what? Pinocchio Effect is an exciting collaboration between theatre maker Cecilia Moisio, Maas theater en dans, and Scapino. Both parents and children lie to each other, but often we also lie to ourselves. Most of the times these are white lies, but sometimes deceitful ones. And while some lie without reservation, others are left feeling guilty. Even online we often pretend to be different than we are. Where does this urge to lie come from anyway?

With dance that cannot tell lies, theatre, live video and blunt performances, Pinocchio Effect is a performance that tackles serious subjects in a humorous way. The dancers all live together as one family in a house full of secret rooms. The family members try to manipulate each other or escape reality. Slowly their lies and truths come to light and reveal their true nature. Brace yourself for absolute worst show in the world!
