In circumstances of global social impasse, It is inevitable to deal with “Decameron”, with the triumph of human will against the terrible, unimaginable obstacle to happiness – death. This is a play that follows the cyclical nature of existence, where man, through constant struggle with cosmic or divine injustices, manages to explosively raise his spirit. He hits hard on delicate places of society, awakening an amazing joy from the theatrical act.

“Decameron” is a play full of life. Unfortunately, everyday life is not. The specific nature of relationships that we were given during this period only brought to the surface the problems of society that we always had. Isolation of the individual, alienation on every basis and class division have now become visible, but they have existed for decades. At the same time, universal grief, solidarity, compassion connected us all once again. The play “Decameron” stands on the humanist platform of Giovanni Boccaccio and talks about the human will to live, the joy of “here and now”, about our fragility but also about the strength of the human spirit through the ephemerality of happiness and the lessons of tragedy.
