ORIGINAL SIGNS

a journey on the edge between the original and the authentic

 

Come and live pure emotion, with Original Signs, an extraordinary performance of dance, music and special effects created specifically for Venice Carnival 2023. A magical parade inspired by water, the main element of Venice, that transforms this ancient location into a surreal landscape of wonderful sights.

Eight tableaux vivants performed by a spectacular international cast will tell the story of human evolution: from the ancestral symbols of nature, to celestial symbols through an explosion of colour.  A show about earth, water, air and fire. A journey on the edge between the original and the authentic.

“Original Signs” is the title of a show made of imaginative visions, lights, technique and sensitivity, which will offer 30 minutes of pure magic. A parade of strong visual and artistic impact, a mythical place where artists coming from the most diverse disciplines will be able to tell us their signs.

 


Shows are scheduled on the 10th February, the 11th February, the 12th February and from Thursday 16th of February to 21st February, at 6.30 pm and at 9 pm.


 

You will find an open- air refreshment area by the Torre di Porta Nuova. Taste all the chicchetti of the venetian tradition!
