The Adventures of Pinocchio is one of the most translated and best-selling works of fiction in the world. Hundreds of film and theatre adaptations exist, not to mention comic books, slideshows and shorts. You might think that everyone knows the story of one of the world's most famous little boys, or more precisely, of one of the world's most famous wooden boys, but the truth is that Carlo Collodi's novel, published in 1883, is read by few people today. Everyone relies on adaptations, even though the original tale is incredibly entertaining, twisty, humorous and, in places, a little scary. By today's standards, Collodi's guiding Pinocchio through his hair-raising adventures in a surprisingly brave and modern way.
The new comic version now in production will try to preserve and showcase as much of the original story's wild imagination, playfulness and humor as possible, while also offering some surprises for the true Pinocchio connoisseurs...
Vígszínház
The Vígszínház is one of the most historic and popular theatres in Budapest. Its three venues (the Main Stage, the House Stage Studio and Chamber, the Pest Theatre) have a total of more than 1700 seats. The theatre is also known as the cradle of modern Hungarian bourgeois drama, with famous authors such as Jenő Heltai, Sándor Bródy, Dezső Szomory, Menyhért Lengyel, Ernő Szép, Sándor Hunyady, Ferenc Herczeg, and others. In the 21st century, the majority of the world's theatres with large auditoriums have lost a good part of their audience. Despite this trend, the premieres of the Vígszínház are successful, and its performances are well attended. The theatre is located on the Újlipótváros side of Szent István körút in Budapest.
