WALKING THEATRE SHOWS

In Venice, from the middle of the fifteenth century, the nobles and the wealthy were preceded by a servant called “Codega”, equipped with a lantern to enlighten their path in the darkness of night, delighting them with anecdotes and stories. Today, your personal host, played by actors of the theatre company “Pantakin”, will guide you through the maze of mystery that belongs to the lagoon. A leap in the past that will inspire you to be the actors in a moving “mise en scene” and will push you in the heart of the life of the Serenissima Republic and its Carnival.

Through the stories of the “Codega” the visitors will be escorted to unusual and secret places of Venice, narrated by the novelist Alberto Toso Fei, in order to find out some interesting facts of the history and daily life of the Serenissima Republic. For instance you will be told that one day the devil came out of the wall of a building, and that the hole can still be seen today… The theatre, from the late sixteenth century, became an integral part in the life of the Venetians, to the point that nuns and priests did not disdain to hang around it, but you will also meet Giacomo Casanova, Cecilia Zen Tron, the spectre of the Levantine and a very special Virgin…
