Pinocchio: A Magical Journey Begins in Göttingen
A piece of wood, a big dream, and a stage full of adventures: The German Theatre Göttingen presents Pinocchio as a family piece based on Carlo Collodi. On November 23, 2026, the audience in dt.1 will experience an imaginative staging about courage, curiosity, and the difficult art of becoming human.
When wood becomes a living boy
Gepetto carves a puppet, but as soon as Pinocchio is completed, the figure comes to life. From the silent material emerges a headstrong hero who explores the world with wide eyes, unbridled energy, and a good portion of irrationality. The dramaturgy follows one of the most touching stories in European children's literature and combines humor with quiet melancholic moments.
Adventures between freedom and responsibility
Pinocchio's journey goes through trials, temptations, and surprising encounters. Each station poses the question of what it means to become independent while also taking responsibility for one's own decisions. The production is aimed at viewers aged six and up and opens its themes for several generations.
Theater atmosphere for the whole family
In the stage space of the German Theatre, a stage experience is created that combines childish imagination and professional acting art. Set design, costumes, and lighting create a sensory theatrical form of the well-known story. The acoustics of the hall carry the language and allow the audience's reactions to become an immediate part of the shared theatrical moment.
A classic in a new stage version
The Göttingen production is by Henner Kallmeyer based on Carlo Collodi. Directed by Max Radestock. The performance lasts 75 minutes, making it suitable for younger theatre guests as well. With much humor and a touch of melancholy, the production tells of a character whose adventures have been raising questions about truth, freedom, and belonging for generations.
Conclusion: Experience Pinocchio live
Anyone looking for an imaginative family performance with clear dramaturgy, vibrant acting, and timeless themes will find a special theatrical date in Pinocchio. The German Theatre Göttingen invites you to experience the journey of the wooden hero together and to discover the magic of live theater experience.
