Teatro Instabile de Venexia
Teatro Instabile de Venexia (Venetian for 'Unstable Theatre of Venice') is a musical street theater in gondolas with facade projections, held in Venice as part of the official program of the Carnival of Venice.[1] It was founded in 2011 as Tour de' Scherxi ('Tour of Jokes'), by European urban historian and "urban activist" Sergey Nikitin.[2][3]
The show combines a trip in a gondola along the channels and a walking tour, which include the performance of a different opera every year. Productions have been inspired by the works of Rossini, Mozart, Diaghilev, among others.[4]
As of 2012,[update] Nikitin was the artistic director of the event.[3] Masks and costumes are created by young artists and architects, the last two times[when?] by Dasha Serebriakova.[citation needed]
