You are invited!
Leave all your worldly worries behind and come to our celebration. We can enjoy the time together, we’re all tired, right? Whether it’s through trash TV, endless scrolling through social media, spontaneous trips to the Maldives, fantasy literature and gaming adventures or believing in conspiracy theories – everyone has their own ways of escaping the daily grind. And we have another one for you!
Inspired by the stories of the plague fugitives from Boccaccio’s Decameron, DIPHTHONG invites you to a night of celebration, oblivion and intoxication. Three actors* bring their imaginary worlds to life and take you on a journey through selected novellas from the Renaissance work, which we connect with modern phenomena of escaping the world.
Will you escape with us?
