Pinocchio

In the organizer's words:

Pinocchio is cheeky, fibs all the time, makes up mischievous stories and has never seen the inside of a school. Father Geppetto doesn't know what to do. The child then sets off on his own to explore the world and gets entangled in dangerous adventures time and again. However, Pinocchio is no ordinary child, but a talking wooden puppet carved out of magic wood. And this puppet's most fervent wish is to finally become a real child.

The old story about the wooden doll that grows a nose when it lies is more modern today than ever. Thanks to artificial intelligence, we are faced with machines that appear to be alive. They force us to think about what it means to be a real person. The story of Pinocchio deals with these questions with humour and without forced moralizing. Because in the end, it is not only school attendance that decides whether the puppet becomes a real child.
