About Acqua Alta
Chioggia's Theatre Season
Acqua Alta is the winter theatre season in Chioggia, in the province of Venice, which enlivens the cold months with a multidisciplinary programme. The shows are held at the Don Bosco Theatre and the San Nicolò Auditorium, and range from prose to dance, from music to contemporary circus.
A Programme Featuring Big Names and New Forms
The programme alternates established Italian theatre performers with experimental shows and contemporary circus, offering the people of Chioggia a rich and varied cultural experience. Over the years, the programme has featured artists such as Valerio Aprea, Maria Amelia Monti, Francesca Reggiani, and Rocío Muñoz Morales.
