Pinocchio in summer 2025 at the Suomenlinna Open-air Theatre
Subtitled in English on Wednesdays and Fridays.
A poor carpenter carves a doll out of a piece of wood, and it unexpectedly comes to life. From this begins the adventure of Pinocchio, a kind-hearted wooden doll, in a world filled with dishonesty and greed, with the sole dream of becoming a real boy.
The Suomenlinna Open-air Theatre presents Juha Kukkonen's dystopian stage adaptation of Carlo Collodi's beloved Pinocchio story. In a world where electric fences separate the rich from the poor and big corporations have trampled down humanity, Fox and Cat are ready to take advantage of Pinocchio's gullibility as he tries to figure out what emotions are and why on earth they sometimes hurt. Pinocchio is accompanied by Cricket, the voice of conscience, who tries to keep him on the straight and narrow. But it doesn't prove to be an easy task at each step!
