It will be a ‘Sensation’ one the Carnival 2008 which is going to be celebrated in Venice: to be heard, to be seen, to be touched an to be imagined. The format of the most popular show in Italy was presented on 21st December 2007, at Venice Casino, by Marco Balich, namely the artistic director of Venice Marketing & Events.
A new Venice Carnival, concerning the five senses plus one, that is, as Balich himself has explained, the mind as place of the soul: each sense will be located in a Venetian sestiere, placing the sixth sense in St.Mark. It is a Carnival, then, which keeps the events of its tradition (such as the flight of the Dove and the Feast of the Maries) but which will decisively break off with the past: it will be a repeating format that will aim at creating a lively and consolidated image of Venice Carnival, which can be sold abroad and used to the utmost both by the Venetians and tourists.
The concepts presented by Balich will keep into consideration the dry land and sees Mestre and Marghera as two locations able to catch the attention of a numerous public. In few days the detailed programme of the various events will be at your disposal.
