The legendary Italian company performed Pinocchio and Biancaneve, two of its most important works, January 10 - 27, 2008 at La MaMa E.T.C. The critics raved!“…A unique and somehow familiar dream world of great intensity and beauty!” –Backstage "...Their Pinocchio is physical theatre at its finest–alternately hilarious and horrifying with an ensemble that is so in tune and energetic as to leave you breathless." -NYTheatre.comTHANK YOU!

make this work possible, particularly the Watson Arts Benefit
