Seating
There will be no traditional tiered seating. The artists and the ensemble move as the performance develops. There is a balcony to look down from and we will provide blankets to sit on. There are plenty of chairs for those members in the audience who need to sit down.
Timing
Doors and the bar open at 6.30pm. There will be a 20-minute interval during the performance. The main programme ends approximately at 9pm but Jacopo Belloni’s Festa con Piccola Tragedia discotèque will continue until 10pm when the doors close.
