You’re invited!
Leave your worldly worries behind and join us for a night of celebration. Let’s enjoy this time together – we’re all a bit tired, aren’t we? Whether it’s through trash TV, endless social media scrolling, spontaneous trips to the Maldives, fantasy novels and gaming adventures, or even conspiracy theories – everyone has their own way of escaping everyday life. And we have another one for you.
Inspired by the tales of plague fugitives in Boccaccio’s Decameron, DIPHTHONG invites you to an evening of revelry, release and intoxication.
Three performers bring their inner worlds to life, taking you on a journey through selected novellas from the Renaissance classic – woven together with today’s modes of escapism.
Will you escape with us?
