The myth of Cinderella undergoes a series of generative twist to illumine the inventive power of speech 11 children and 3 educated women engaged in a game of improvisation via their talkinghead camera presence Taletelling to some children is the realization of creative instincts to others the performance of self or its simply a tedious pedagogic vessel My researchcreation completes with adult women transforming the usage of Cinderellaobjects into agents of their own stories however fragmentary or elliptical The event of taletelling woke up the child in them children language was appropriated to perform unarticulated subjectivities Gender is a complex system most revealing in languageinaction The coda is a grand finale celebrating the magical power of objects and their own unlimited lives Storytelling is the most primitive form of play Harmless it may look it is also the most sophisticated embodiment of ideological workings
