Venice in Love

What's it all about?

Take a gondola ride on an absurd rom-com misadventure, back to 16th-century Venice at the height of Carnevale celebrations!

Il Capitano, desperate to win the heart of the fiery and fiercely independent Isabella, resorts to using a love potion. Gross! When the potion falls into the well-meaning but hopelessly muddled hands of Arlecchino; chaos and misunderstanding ensue. Meanwhile, Capitano and Pantalona’s Zanni fall in love at first sight, adding even more twists to the masked mayhem. Watch this parade of classic Commedia characters negotiate their path to love, fortune… and the latest climate protest!
