Aim

Lies, conscience & redemption on stage. "The Last Lie of Pinocchio" — a bold dance-theatre reinterpretation of Collodi's timeless classic.

"The Last Lie of Pinocchio" is a dance-theatre production written and directed by Francesco Angeloni, with choreography by Laura Farina.

About the show
We take Collodi's beloved tale and transform it into a bold, poetic journey through the nuances of lies, conscience and redemption. Through powerful movement, striking visuals and a contemporary lens, we ask the audience to reflect on the moral and social conflicts of our time — because Pinocchio's story has never been more relevant.

Who we are
We are Avanzi di Scena, an Italian theatre company with a proven track record in international performance. This will be our third consecutive international participation, confirming an artistic journey that has already captivated audiences and juries in some of the world's most competitive contexts.
