We have been incubating a project of EPIC proportions!
4 MORE DAYS! Dozens of artists and performers....ONE HUNDRED unique stories!
The Decameron will transform the Fort Mason Firehouse into The Oekolos, a post-disaster enclave where artists, actors, dancers, and aerialists from the Bay Area and Europe have taken refuge from the chaos beyond the walls. For ten nights, we will open our gates to the outside world and share our stories in a Festival featuring art, dance, theater, music, poetry, circus arts and more. Join us for this banquet of human expression!
This is an immersive, one of a kind event: a concept-driven contemporary re-imagining of a historical fiction: Giovanni Bocaddio's Il Decamerone.
We, the Citizens of the Oekolos, welcome you to enter our home, a place of refuge, a creative eden in the face of dark times.
This project was conceived by Karl Gillick and Marije Nie. Check out the website for our team of awesome and incredible artists!
Each night will be different and feature an after-event celebration in the creative safe haven of Oekolos!
Please purchase your tickets now, plan to come with friends and support this labor or love and inspiration! This is a highly collaborative project and an immersive artistic-performance environment.
BUY TICKETS NOW to the night of your choice. Certain nights will sell out quickly.:

Reno is a veritable powder factory of creative output, and we're fixing to show you what we've got, from neon to knitting, hard-boiled portraits to velvety-royal costume finery, and just about everything in between. Come see!
While your eyeballs and eardrums feast on all this fabulousness, you'll also be helping International Arts Megacrew raise funds for the Control Tower, a very cool Burning Man project that unites numerous crews from around the country under one shining banner

CARNIVAL OF CULTS Theme: Some wonder if Burning Man is a cult. If we are, then we are a DIY cult where members are encouraged to think for themselves and wash their own brains! For this evening we invite you to create your own imaginative, playful, satiric, retro-absurd or future envisioning cults. We encourage you to dress and act the part, create midway games, processional groups and bizarre rituals to inspire followers to join you.
Bring your cult of personality and beliefs to life in a collaborative and creative manner. You might create a roving theme camp cult of pious platypi seeking to recruit new members for its art colony. Perhaps you are a closet alien cult leader on a galactic campaign to save the Cosmos! Prepare YOUR message and indoctrination ritual! We welcome your creative and collaborative interpretations of this playful and poignant themewhether you are a cult of one or many. Its up to you!
Performers, Camps, and MORE!!
AIRsmith, Bounce Camp, Burning Man Project, KSA Candyland, Disco Knights, DJ Zero One, Fou Fou Ha, Gamelan X, Michelangelo, Nick Black, Noaccordion, Tazii, and MANY MORE!!
