At time of printing, the final programme of the Venice Open Stage festival had yet to be released. What we can expect in San Sebastiano, Venice, on July 18 to 30, is a new and improved festival area designed by Rachele Cominella, who employed recycled wood and other material. The building comprises the café, dressing rooms, and storage room. Venice Open Stage began in 2013, and is one of the most important Venetian summer programmes dedicated to performance art. Over the years, performers from Denmark, Greece, Iran, Lithuania, Malaysia, Portugal, Britain, Switzerland, Spain, Romania, and Turkey. The festival will start on July 18 with a class/performance by Paolo Nori, Sanguina ancora. L’incredibile vita di Fëdor Dostoevskji.
