TITIZÉ – A VENETIAN DREAM – City of Venice’s official show “Our clownery has always been intimately linked to tradition and has echoes of the language of the Commedia dell’Arte. We produce shows in which we immerse multidisciplinary performers in rarefied universes where wonder is sometimes naive, sometimes ingenious, sometimes surreal. Reflections in the water, the hazy blur when the clouds descend lower and lower, and the mythical game of masquerade that reminds us of cloaking in order to reveal oneself and then reveal oneself again: the three magical movements that magicians and shamans know and have passed down. There will be the night and its madness, the antics of jesters, objects that levitate, acrobats that fly, surreal rain and a continuous recreation of impossible balance. There will be traditional characters that in a kaleidoscopic game will multiply, split, dismantle and reconstruct. There will be Venice with all its splendour, its atmosphere, its poetry and the mysteries that inhabit it.”

Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality. .

Emblematic work of Daniele Finzi Pasca, this show was conceived for one single spectator and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021. Only one privileged member of the audience, randomly chosen by Daniele, is completely involved in the play, while the others become “voyeurs”. Since its creation in 1991, Daniele Finzi Pasca has performed this show more than 800 times, in several languages around the world.
