how little did we know...

Back in 2017 Elisa Kragerup and I did a "Decamerone" stage adaptation at NationalTheatret in Oslo. We did spend a lot of time imagining what the plague could mean to the characters, improvising on how infections would spread, how they would interact. Much has happened, but surprisingly, we got a lot right, apart of course, from the massive hedonism and sexual excesses in the 15.century tales, we havn't seen much of that yet in 2020..

here's a sketch from the designs of our plague costumes, and below the marketing departments redecorating of the Henrik Ibsen bust in the main foyer.
