This hilarious twenty-nine character one man show, performed entirely in middle English is not an adaptation. It is a 600 year old satire about social mobility in post plague Europe. Perversely silly, light, fluffy and rude, this is the most vibrant museum piece imaginable; so old that its new.

Goodbye comfort zones. Hello cultural rearrangement. This is visceral, quietly subversive art-activism work. Mother/artist/educator Tasha Diamant models human vulnerability by appearing naked and unscripted. In solidarity and in protest, Diamant chooses to “be the change” and embody the humanity our culture ignores: physicality, fragility, heartfulness. What emerges: authenticity, non-domination, shared responsibility. Participating audiences feel and connect “some even get naked.”
