Teatro Comico

THE COMICO WAS BUILT ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF NICOLO SABBATINI'S TREATISE ON STAGE DESIGN. THE SPACE IS THEREFORE EQUALLY DIVIDED BETWEEN THE AUDITORIUM AND THE STAGE. HERE WE WORK WITH AN "OPEN DOOR" POLICY; IT IS A PRESERVED PLACE BUT NOT A PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT.

The stage is slightly raised (40 cm), creating a "break" with the audience, but the auditorium has a slight slope (5 levels of 15 cm), allowing all spectators to feel close to and involved in the show. This comfort comes at a price: the Comico can only accommodate 60 people per evening.

LOCATION

The philosophy of the venue is simple: affordability for all, with prices kept as low as possible:

(maximum $25, senior citizen discount $20, apprentices/students $15, children up to age 14 $10, "20-year-old cards" and the Valais Passport are accepted).

Depending on the season, before the performance, spectators are welcomed by a live musician for 20 minutes.

Then the Truchement announces the show and the season's program.

At the end of the performance, the audience and actors are invited to a 15-20 minute discussion about the show.
