A Multimedia Performance for Kids & Adults
Based on Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio
“Cool stuff — go check it out.”
— Culturebot
“So imaginative and organic that all disbelief is suspended. The entire audience, no matter what age, can’t help but embrace the wide-eyed awe of childhood.”
— Show Business Weekly
Immediate Medium’s psychedelic re-imagining of Collodi’s original 1883 text is definitely not your grandmother’s Pinocchio. A mashup of original music, projections, live video compositing, masks, found objects and Italianate gibberish, The Assassins Chase Pinocchio fractures the storytelling tradition into an immersive multimedia experience for all.
