From the laughing, crying block of wood to the flight from the school bench, the first act tells the story of Pinocchio's birth and his first steps in the world — naive, chaotic, irresistible. Mathieu Vignon's illustrations come alive on the four walls of the cloister: Geppetto carving, the puppet kicking, the Talking Cricket warning, the fire burning his feet. A visual universe in constant motion, inhabited by Fiorenzo Carpi's melodies reworked in a jazz idiom by Carlo Gizzi — music that evokes childhood not as nostalgia, but as a state of mind still alive and pulsing.
