Review: The Making of Pinocchio at Take Me Somewhere (online) by Ben Kulvichit “The Making Of Pinocchio (****) is a clever and absorbing film, full of reflection and self-revelation, powerful visual imagery and movement, and a profound sense of the force of Pinocchio as a story about a central character striving to be what he does not at first seem to be – a “real boy”.” Theatre reviews: Edinburgh International Children’s Festival | Hindu Times | Braw Tales by Joyce McMillan “By some margin, The Making of Pinocchio is the highlight of the opening weekend of Take Me Somewhere, Glasgow’s festival of contemporary international performance.” “The satire is gentle, but the politics are clear.” “a funny, clever and thoughtful two-hander, rich in playful imagery and direct-to-camera asides” Take Me Somewhere review – the wondrous trans tale of Pinocchio by Mark Fisher Often there is action happening live on stage, and this is being filmed by a camera from a different angle and projected onto the main screen, so you are watching 2 different perspectives at the same time.The nudity and sexual fantasy scenes are performed in a playful way. All of the characters are consenting to being involved in sexual activity and experience pleasure. Rosana describes a sexual fantasy between Pinocchio and the artistic director of the venue, which plays with the artistic director having power over Pinocchio and seducing him.There is also a short film clip where we see Ivor’s chest before top surgery. When Ivor is nude audiences will see that he has had top surgery. ![]() Ivor performs a dance where he is fully nude at some points, at a distance from the audience.Ivor talks a little at the beginning about transphobia but does not tell any specific stories.Rosana and Ivor mention different parts of the story of Pinocchio but you do not need to know the story to follow what is happening.Ivor and Rosana check in with each other throughout the performance. The performance attempts to centre queer joy and pleasure.There is music underneath performers talking but there are captions integrated into the show.There is a short section with loud music and a loud blower machine.There is a brief moment of complete darkness at the start and finish of the show.One of the moving cameras has a bright light. ![]()
