DECAMERONE 2020 (a blog during lockdown)
Berlin, Bucharest, Cluj, Houston, Kiev, London, Milano, Rome 2020 During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Spring 2020, 10 friends from different cities – 7 women and 3 men – are contacted via email from an unknown address decameron2020@gmx.de, with the unusual invitation to create a contemporary, transcultural Decamerone. Such a pity they cannot afford a retreat to the beautiful Italian countryside. Day by day a new topic is decided and every storyteller writes a text in a language and a genre of his/her choice. Every day lasts 72, 96 or sometimes even more than 100 hours, depending on the rate of time flow which seems to follow a very different logic during the pandemic.
From time to time other friends from other places will be contacted and invited to contribute.
By the time the 10-day-oeuvre is finally complete, the quarantine should be over, their lives can return to normal and the friends will even be able, if they feel like, to plan a retreat to a beautiful Italian countryside villa to cure the psychological impact of the pandemic.
