Puppet theater performance of the adventures of Pinocchio. The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio
The main characters: Pinocchio, Malvina, Pierrot, Harlequin - dolls who escaped from the theater of the evil Karabas-Barabas and are trying to find the treasured door to a new, fair world. They will find this door in Papa Carlo's closet and will be able to open it with the help of the golden key to remain in a happy future forever. But before they reach their goal, they will have to endure many trials and adventures.
A favorite fairy tale for many generations of children. And it would be a sin not to stage a puppet show about dolls! The theater offers us a classic production of this performance with bright, easily recognizable puppets and characters. The action is built on the principle of “people and dolls”: some of the characters on stage (Carlo, Karabas, Duremara, Alice, Basilio) are played by people with or without masks; the other part (Pinocchio, Malvina, Pierrot, Harlequin) are dolls. The performance is intended for an audience of five years and older.
Stage director - Oleg Rusov. The puppets for the performance were made by the famous puppet theater director, member of the Union of Artists of the Russian Federation Andrei Mikhailovich Lukomsky. His father also worked in the puppet theater. The question of choosing a profession never faced A. Lukomsky. He always knew who he would be and seems to know everything about dolls. Cheerful and mischievous, like Pinocchio himself, the music for the production was written by Kharkov composer Igor Anatolyevich Gaidenko. He is the author of music for more than 40 performances staged in different cities of Russia and Ukraine.
We recommend watching this kind and positive play about a resilient wooden boy with your children. Just remember that tickets are required for all spectators, both small and large. Children under 14 years of age are allowed into the hall only if accompanied by an adult. For the convenience of young spectators, so that everything that happens on stage can be clearly seen, transformable chairs are installed in the hall, in which the seat is raised to the desired height. The theater is waiting for you!

The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it
One day, in a closet under the stairs, Papa Carlo whittled a boy-doll out of an unusual log, and from that moment miracles began in the town. The boy came to life and, like many children, turned out to be not particularly obedient. He offended the Talking Cricket, angered the old rat Shushara, deceived his dad, preferred the booth and wealth promised by charlatans to school. What fate awaits a boy who is not familiar with the treachery of our world and lives by momentary emotions? Spectators who purchase tickets to the play “The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio” in Moscow will learn about this.
Many people know the ending of this instructive, but funny and kind fairy tale. Pinocchio will have many adventures and unexpected acquaintances, difficult and even dangerous trials. He will learn incredible facts about the human world, and with him, little theatergoers will discover a lot of new things for themselves.
The mystery of the door behind the canvas
The puppet production about the adventures of a wooden boy is based on the original text and is therefore especially attractive to viewers familiar with its plot. All your favorite characters will appear on stage as the action progresses - the charming turtle Tortila, the blue-haired Malvina and her sad admirer Pierrot, the scary red-bearded Karabas-Barabas and the charismatic swindlers Alice and Basilio.
The dolls in this performance harmoniously coexist on stage with masked actors, which adds dynamics to the action and perfectly complements the plot about the life of dolls in the world of people and magical creatures. Despite all the twists and turns and very instructive events, a happy ending awaits the heroes - the key will still open the door behind the canvas, which hides a real, genuine miracle.

The Moscow Puppet Theater's playbill includes performances for spectators of all ages: from one-year-old children to 16-year-old teenagers. Some productions require the participation of actors in addition to puppets. Along with traditional performances, the Moscow Puppet Theater creates new stage forms: interactive baby theater for the little ones, storytelling (“storytelling”), plastic performances, theater with eyes closed and other genres.

The organ grinder Carlo made a wooden man out of a talking log so that he could walk around the yards with him and earn his living. But the baby turned out to be an unusually mischievous, impudent boy, constantly getting into trouble.
Instead of obeying his father and going to school, Pinocchio, as Carlo called him, ran away to the performance of the Karabas Barabas Theater, the great producer and director of all times, and disrupted his brilliant production.
A well-deserved punishment is unexpectedly replaced by a pardon and a monetary reward of 5 gold coins. And all because Karabas finds out about a secret door hidden in Carlo’s closet. He needs to open it. Therefore, when Pinocchio goes home, he, Karabas Barabas, will follow the tomboy and find out where his father lives...
Although Pinocchio is a liar and a scoundrel, he is easy to deceive. He had not even gone half way home when he met scammers - Alice the fox and Basilio the cat, and they promised that his finances would increase 22 and a half times. You just need to get to the Land of Fools, bury money in the Field of Miracles and in the morning you can count your profits.
Since its inception, the story of the restless wooden doll has changed little. Pinocchio is the same naughty man, a liar and a loafer, Tortila is the same forgetful and fair, Alice the fox and Basilio the cat are the same scoundrels as they were before.
So why do we need to once again retell a plot that is familiar to everyone and has become so familiar (that’s why it’s good)?! Let's talk about the most unusual performance that could ever happen! Not in a fairy tale, but for real!
It all started with the fact that composer Alexey Rybnikov conceived a musical performance that would be interesting to both adults and children. So that both of them would come - and no one would be bored, and would not want to leave, and after the end of the performance there would be a desire to come back here again.
Childhood unites us with common memories. Theater unites the audience with experience. In musical theater, music becomes such an experience. It is the key to the success of the play “Pinocchio!”
Also, as a guarantee of enthusiastic animation in the audience - in a funny and sensible libretto. And the performers - artists of our Theater, musicians, singers, who take direct part throughout the entire show and never leave the stage for a minute, highlight new facets of not only the tale of Pinocchio, but also the musical entertainment genre itself.
Inspired by what is happening, the audience, as a rule, does not even suspect that they are returning to the origins of the theater - to the clownish booths, fastnachtspiel, theater dell'arte. And this is not a simple revival of old traditions, but their enrichment with centuries-old experience, enhanced by modern means. Coming to the play "Pinocchio", we find ourselves in a theater in which all the characters, on stage and in the hall, are living people - participants in the same game and, it seems, its outcome depends on you and me.
