CL RECOMMENDS

CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: In the works for more than three years, this production by Michael Haverty and Marium Khalid is a 7 Stages collaboration with two other local entities known for adventurousness - Object Group and Sky Creature Productions. “This re-telling of the classic story is brought to life for adult audiences with puppetry, dance, video projections, and sensory experiences,” the press release reads, adding that audiences can expect a journey “through an unexpected world full of magic, treachery and desire” with Pinocchio venturing away from home, discovering the roots of his identity, and accepting his truth. The cast features Luis Hernandez as Geppetto, Rachel Wansker as Pinocchio and Alejandro Abarca as Head Mister. Sets are by Haverty and Khalid with Vii Kelly and Joey Swift, direction is by Kate Bergstrom, costumes are by Jennifer Schottstaedt, and cinematography is by Jess Silva. The genesis of the project is a 2021 short film - a prequel of sorts - that will be presented to ticket holders before each live performance. — KCM
