Geppetto

Work:: Geppetto (S0735339046)

A lost child. A father lost. In New York, in the middle of the 1950s, a teenage girl answers a hastily scrawled, grubby advert. It invites her to audition as a puppeteer in a forthcoming production of Pinocchio. But when she enters the shabby flat where the audition is being held, nothing is quite as she was expecting. Least of all the fact that the odd, ill-at-ease man she finds there calls himself Geppetto (the name of Pinocchio's father in the original story). Unwittingly she sets off on a bewildering journey through descending layers of deception and dysfunction, a journey which in its own bizarre, horrific and comic way, leads them both to the gates of hell.

Production:: (T805083987)

Using two performers, combining Cube’s trademark electric dialogue with mesmerizing puppetry, Geppetto is a heart-rending, but often hilarious story of a broken man’s obsessive search for his own puppet-boy, and how the chance pairing of this odd couple offers them both a glimpse of something lost and something to be yet found.
