Shakespeare in Venice Summer School
The Shylock Project – Second Edition
The Study Centre for Documentary Research into European Theatre and Opera of Fondazione Giorgio Cini organizes on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore the second edition of an intensive two-week course of study exploring the text and contexts of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.
A rich program of lectures and creative workshops by leading scholars, actors, directors and musicians held in the beautiful Island of San Giorgio Maggiore will be complemented by excursions to the Jewish Ghetto and other Venetian sites and four events open to the public.
This unique full-immersion experience will culminate in the attendance of the first production of The Merchant of Venice ever to be staged in the Jewish Ghetto, in the year of its quincentennial (1516-2016).
