The Making of Pinocchio

Theatre
Running time: 1h30

In a fictional film studio, you are invited to go behind the scenes of Cade and MacAskill's creative process and their relationship, while questioning yourself what it takes to tell one's truth. Artists and lovers, Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill created The Making of Pinocchio in 2018, alongside and in response to Ivor's gender transition. Their tender and complex autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the lying puppet who wants to be a ‘real boy’. The performance constantly oscillates between fantasy and authenticity, humour and intimacy on stage and on screen.
Rosana Cade (they/them) and Ivor MacAskill (he/him) are two gay artists based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work, together and individually, straddles the worlds of experimental contemporary theatre, live art, queer cabaret and film. Their collaboration is born of a shared love of subversive humour, experimentation with character and text, playful theatricality and the joy they find in improvising together. Together with Tim Spooner, they create strange and rich aesthetic worlds on stage, enhanced by unique sound elements from their ongoing collaboration with sound artist and designer Yas Clarke.
