Text from the official Cultura Roma Capitale page (service translation: “Post-atomic adaptation of the fairy tale of Pinocchio.”), source
«2099. Pinocchio al Tufello» imagines a future Tufello, a mirror of a globalized world where environmental resources are exhausted and artificial intelligence has taken over humanity. Almost nobody is without cybernetic implants built into the body. There is one exception: a conscientious objector who lives in Tufello, the only «only human» man on Earth, and his name is Geppetto. Once a programmer of androids, today he finds himself living in a world where those machines are an illegal and dangerous commodity.
The authors and actors of the Collettivo 7Off/sotto 30 tell this dystopian version of the fairy tale. The event is a restituzione, meaning the moment when an artistic residency shows the public the work done. It is organized by Teatro 7 Off srl.
«Pinocchio al Tufello» is part of Terzo Incluso 2026, the civic theater festival in Municipio III with workshops, shows and staged tours, now in its second edition and under the patronage of Municipio Roma III Montesacro. The venues listed are the Teatro 7 Off, at Via Monte Senario 81, and the Mercato Tufello, at Via Monte Sirino 23.
Where Pinocchio al Tufello takes place: Area Sociale del Mercato del Tufello
Tufello is an urban zone of Municipio III, in the northern outskirts of the city, within the Monte Sacro district. The name recalls the tufillo, the tuff rock of the little hills on which it stands. The borgata was built in 1939 and 1940 for Italians repatriated from abroad.
In the Monte Sacro district, of which Tufello is part, there are also the C.S. Brancaleone and the Balagan Roma, which hosted music events in recent weeks.
