 |
Huge congratulations to the creative team at Staatstheater Kassel, including director Lily Sykes and writer Thomaspeter Georgen who have just released their extraordinary 2 hour original interactive show P(a)inocchio created and produced using Stornaway’s editing platform and player. None of the team had ever made a film before, let alone an interactive film – but Stornaway.io made it possible. It’s a bizarre journey into the dark and strange world of Pinocchio, Chucky, the crazy log lady and more… in German. Decide for yourself what will happen to Pinocchio and experience a whole new kind of theatre adventure. You can watch it from the beginning here (in German) – or if you click on the image below, you can go straight to a playable map of the story and dive straight in, follow a character or a destination. |
