Odyssey Theatre’s touring troupe Lazzi Lazzi offers you an exceptional way to provide that distinct touch to your community event or social function. This group of up to twelve actors specializes in Odyssey’s Commedia dell’Arte style, utilizing our delightful masks to create charming and unique background animation and theatre pieces.

Lazzi Lazzi ‘animates’ events with live actors in fabulous costumes whose zany antics and comical situations set a captivating and lighthearted tone at any community event. The troupe interacts with members of the audience, fueling an exciting atmosphere of boisterous participation and group involvement.

The Commedia characters portrayed by members of Lazzi Lazzi will elicit smiles and laughter and generate enthusiasm from any and all attending their functions. Lazzi Lazzi also creates short Commedia based plays like their original “The Audition”.

Lazzi Lazzi has performed at many high-profile events and venues throughout the region including: the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards, the National Arts Centre (Studio Theatre), the Canadian Aviation Museum during Canada Day festivities, the Museum of Civilization, the National Gallery, and the Great Canadian Theatre Company. They have also performed at private functions such as corporate parties.

Alix Sideris, a veteran of Odyssey Theatre and an experienced mask performer, serves as Lazzi Lazzi’s artistic director. Alix has been a celebrated performer in Odyssey productions for the past five years. She has also performed at the National Arts Centre and the Great Canadian Theatre Company among many others. Based in Ottawa, Alix has taught many workshops on Commedia dell’Arte in area schools.
