Coordinated by Maria Grazia Panigada, Artistic Director of the Prose Season and Other Paths.   Faithful to the language of dreams that returns evanescent images, allusions, and mirages, Titizé is a show that leads the spectator into a rarefied and surreal universe. Its narrative, apparently fragmented but deeply allusive, develops in a kaleidoscopic game that interweaves different levels of meaning, evoking a hyperbolic "grammelot". "Titizé", "you are": an emblematic word full of rhythm, which with its evocative sound draws attention to the power of the verb "to be", emphasizing the universality of an experience imagined to intimately involve a heterogeneous audience of all ages. The show blends tradition and innovation in a fascinating union between clowning, the language of the body and acrobatics - which allows for allusion, creating metaphors, amplifying emotions - and the use of innovative stage machines, giving life to a theater of wonder and lightness, without having to resort to words. With a cast of ten talented performers, Titizé invites you to immerse yourself in the essence of Venice, where past and present blend into a single fascinating story and the tales, scattered like shells on the beach, each with its beauty and mystery, are recomposed into a precious mosaic. "The clowning we practice has always been intimately linked to tradition and carries echoes of the language of Commedia dell'Arte. We come from a theater of wonder and simplicity that over the years we have contaminated using increasingly fascinating stage machines, inventing a visual aesthetic that is our own. We build shows in which we immerse multidisciplinary performers in rarefied universes where wonder sometimes manifests itself in naive, sometimes ingenious, other times surreal ways," writes Daniele Finzi Pasca in the director's notes of Titizé "The dramaturgy of our shows often seems fragmented and allusive perhaps because we always refer to the architecture of dream language that uses words
