Summary/Abstract: Agata Łuksza reviews the premiere of Pinocchio – another play for children directed by Anna Smolar, which is also the first event for young viewers at the Nowy Theater in Warsaw (premiere: 31.05.2014). The author analyzes the poetic of the play, which draws audiences young and old into the magical dimension of theater. The performance was based on a modernized version of the fairy tale about Pinocchio, written by Joël Pommerat. Its partial removal from the original fairy tale significantly affects the expression of the performance, and makes it rather remarkable when compared to other plays for children.
