Nothing! is so Indecent
in which The Decameron joins Saggy
9/29, Doors at 6:30pm, Sliding scale, no one turned away
“Nothing is so indecent that it cannot be said to another person if the proper words are used to convey it.”
― Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron
Join us in a screening of the hilarious, sensual and bizarre film, Pasolini’s Decameron. In between episodes of jest, sex, and death the band Saggy will perform correspondingly.
The film is an adaptation of The Decameron, a book by Giovanni Boccaccio completed in 1353. It is a frame narrative containing 100 tales, the stories tell tales of the spinning wheel of fortune and its lewd, touching, hilarious, sad, and strange effects.
Not moralizing or didactic, the stories champion cleverness, bemoan dullness, and satirize the Catholic church.
Saggy is a band, an improvisation, a document of friendship between Lane Speidel and Jim Strong. Ranging from punk anti work tirades, to sweet pop sonnets, to utter nonsense, Saggy can do or become anything and anyone. Saggy is what happens when two people committed to art, agree to love each other inside and outside of what is reasonable.
Copies of recent release will be available.
