Chioggia che storia… e che spettacolo al museo!
The summer review of family theatre in the courtyard of the San Francesco Civic Museum
About Spettacolo al museo
Family theatre under the stars
The 'Chioggia che storia… e che spettacolo al museo!' review brings children's theatre to the courtyard of the San Francesco Civic Museum of the Southern Lagoon, outside the walls, one of the most evocative cultural sites in Chioggia, in the province of Venice. The evening shows, at 9:15 PM, feature performances for children and families by nationally acclaimed companies.
Fairy tales and classics reinterpreted
The programme alternates traditional fairy tales and literary classics, reinterpreted with a theatrical language suitable for younger audiences: from the fable of Cupid and Psyche to The Frog Prince, from Pinocchio to Around the World in 80 Days. Companies such as Tres Bien, Gruppo Panta Rei, Gli Alcuni, and Bam! Bam! Teatro take turns on stage.
Culture and community
The event is organised by the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Chioggia together with the Arteven Circuit and the Pro Loco (local tourism board), and represents one of the most beloved summer events for the people of Chioggia. The museum, a treasure chest of lagoon history, thus also becomes a space for live performance.
