The Making of Pinocchio

A true tale of love and transition told through the story of Pinocchio.

Described as ‘the highlight of the opening weekend of Glasgow’s festival of contemporary international performance’ (The Guardian), internationally-acclaimed The Making of Pinocchio continues an impressive world tour with its Australian exclusive debut as part of Brisbane Festival.

Artists and lovers Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill have been creating The Making of Pinocchio since 2018, alongside and in response to Ivor’s gender transition. In this ‘funny, clever and thoughtful two-hander, rich in playful imagery’ (The Guardian) their tender and complex autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the lying puppet who wants to be a ‘real boy’.
