Compagnia Finzi Pasca: TITIZÉ – A Venetian Dream

True to the language of dreams that brings back fleeting images, allusions and mirages, TITIZÉ is a show that transports the viewer into a rarefied and surreal universe. Its narrative, seemingly fragmented but deeply evocative, unfolds in a kaleidoscopic play that interweaves different planes of meaning, conjuring up a hyperbolic ‘grammelot.’
‘TITIZÉ,’ ‘You are’: an emblematic word full of rhythm, whose evocative sound draws attention to the power of the verb ‘to be,’ emphasizing the universality of an imagined experience to intimately engage a diverse audience of all ages.
The show fuses tradition and innovation in a fascinating combination of clowning, the language of the body and acrobatic – which allows allusion, the creation of metaphors, and the amplification of emotions – and the use of innovative stage devices, resulting in a theatre of amazement and lightness, without the need for words.
With a cast of ten talented performers, including acrobats, actors and musicians, TITIZÉ invites the audience to immerse themselves in the very essence of Venice, where the past and the present blend into one fascinating tale, and the stories, scattered like seashells on the beach, each with its own beauty and mystery, are reconstructed into a precious mosaic.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest

When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.


The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
