Actor and playwright Marco Paolini is collaborating with the Venice Biennale to present “La veglia dell’Acqua Granda 1966-2066.” This project marks the 60th anniversary of the historic flood that devastated Venice in 1966.
The performance, described as a series of “civil letters,” serves as a reflection on the past disaster while looking ahead to the centennial of the event. Organizers aim to use the production to examine the long-term impact of rising sea levels and climate challenges facing the city over the next four decades. The initiative connects historical memory with future environmental concerns for the region.
