Canterbury Tales in the Venetian Harbour, Rethymnon

From the flyer: SHIP OF FOOLS is a ninety year old seaworthy vessel that continues the good and old tradition of the travelling buffoon. She is an artist's family from many different countries, dedicated to the Arts and to the Seas. Their world travel is an endless pilgrimage in praise of Folly. Their passion is comic theatre. The ship is transformed into an absurd floating sculpture that serves as transport, home and kitchen, as workshop for theatre, costume and film and as scene and backdrop to their show. In 2007 they travel from Barcelona to Istanbul with a typical Azart version of the "Canterbury Tales" that combines comic theatre, comedia dell'arte, object theatre, music hall and operetta with the visual richness of the costumes and the natural setting of the Harbour of Rethymnon.
