In PIEDESTAL, seven Pulcinellas take centre stage: the first without arms, the second without eyes, the third without legs, the fourth without a voice, the fifth without a nose, the sixth without ears and the seventh without a heart. Together they try to build a structure, but their respective limitations constantly get in the way, bringing the project to a standstill. Eventually, the Pulcinella without a heart decides to take a leap and climb towards the elusive ideal. At first, no one dares to follow her, until the least acrobatic one of the group, driven by sheer willpower, ascends without hesitation.
Both the chosen format and the diverse cast ensure that this life lesson is anything but a sombre affair, but rather a cheerful note, a tune that lifts the spirits
PIEDESTAL explores the tension between ambition and acceptance, a quest for the balance between limitation and infinite possibilities – an enchanting and inclusive performance at the intersection of theatre and circus.
