The Greatest Liar in All the World
- Artists
- Familia de la Noche
Familia de la Noche use a mix of clowning, puppetry, music and shadow play to tell a story of extraordinary encounters, curious characters and lost love.
The story of The Liar, a world-weary music-hall hypnotist who has reached the end of his tether and threatens to end it all. His company of glamorous and not-so-glamorous assistants distract him from his imminent demise and convince him to tell the story of his infamous origins.
Based on the story of Pinocchio, The Greatest Liar in All the World takes the audience on a roller-coaster ride through the life of the man who used to be a little wooden boy.
