Carnival of Venice 2008:’Sensation’ the Carnival of the five senses plus one
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.

CARNIVAL 2007 AND CARLO GOLDONI
In 2007 it will be the Tricentenary of our writer and playwright Carlo Goldoni, one of the most representative artists in our Venetian literary and theatrical tradition. And more than anyone else, he will represent the Carnival's "folklore", its popularity, its being "everybody's event", no one excluded
The leading thread of the coming Carnival took inspiration from an artcle in his memoirs. Goldoni and his company will travel virtually around the world to meet artists from every country.
It will be a mosaic of arts, a masquerade, made up of so many pieces, so many different, diversified, amusing themes.
The past edition experience has also been of service in programming this new event.
The most appealing shows in 2006? Undoubtedly the great Goran Bregovic and his splendid performance of the Taranta with an overwhelming "Pizzica" in St Mark's Square
ST MARK SQUARE, Music in the world, to make the world dance
St Mark's Square will feature more music for dancing, pop, folk, with international artists like Afro Celt Sound System, Bollywood Brass Band, Roy Paci and Aretuska, as well as many others.
We shall also witness a battle, with no dead or casualties, the "Marching Bands Collision". Latin-American bands will play on the go, bumping into Scottish bagpipe players, finishing with the extraordinary "Funk Off", the most famous Italian marching band, back from Umbria Jazz and the celebrated Orvieto Musical New Year's Eve.
In addition, a circus like a theatre with "Creatures" and the "Magic of Fire" directed by Chiarenza, and dozens of Commedia dell'Arte performances, on their typical small comedy stages, acting out centuries-old Venetian popular theatre.
A great event, "Venezia Suona" (Venice plays), will be a guest at Venice Carnival: dozens of musicians will perform around the streets in Cannaregio and not only, there will also be a concert by the Band of Venice, especially invented and created for our city by Gianantonio De Vincenzo and his friends from "Il Suono Improvviso".
We shall see a grand show procession by the most important costume atelier in Venice, Atelier Nicolao: hundreds of extraordinary costumes, as part of a display that will transform a woman into a rosebud...
