Multimedia | 9m | 2021
"In Giovanni Boccaccio's celebrated work of Medieval literature The Decameron (1353), ten friends live through the last moments of a horrific plague year by retreating to a rural estate for ten days and telling each other stories about intimacy and politics.
​
In 10x10, ten young people have gathered for ten rehearsals in the midst of our current epidemiological and political crises to create a new online performance each night."
