Night, Day, Dusk and Dawn - Nicolás Lange / Frascati Producties
Seven days before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii, two men fall in love. Over the course of a week scenes of sex, graffiti, meals, violence and Latin songs unfold against the backdrop of a city on the verge of destruction.
On the final day, the eruption of Vesuvius freezes them in time. Buried beneath ash and stone, their bodies were preserved for centuries.
Night, Day, Dusk and Dawn is a countdown to extinction. The performance draws on the images of queer photographers Wilhelm von Gloeden and Robert Mapplethorpe, as well as archaeologist Massimo Osanna’s finding that two bodies long believed to be a man and a woman were in fact two young men. From this revelation, Nicolás Lange imagines a love story suspended between love, history and destruction.

All The Lovers I had and (dis)Liked - Agnes Jung Lassen / Frascati Producties
"There are days when we make each other come so intensely that it almost makes me cry and think: this is it. I must be pregnant.
Regardless of which genitals are involved, regardless of condoms, the pill, IUDs, or any scientific predictions about declining fertility; this must connect us forever. If not through a child, then in another way.
And there are days where loneliness is so overwhelming that I can’t stand to be at home. So I go for a walk, I find a used condom on the street and I think: damn, I wish that had been inside me."
In All The Lovers I Had and (dis)Liked, Agnes Jung Lassen explores the gap between our romantic ideals and the realities of modern dating. From Disney kisses to dick pics, from ghosting to the longing for connection, the performance looks at a time when dating has never been easier, yet finding love seems harder than ever.
Over Agnes Jung Lassen
Agnes Jung Lassen (Denmark) is a theatre director who graduated in 2026 from the Directing programme at the Academy of Theatre and Dance. Her graduation work included the feminist theatre hit Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. by Alice Birch and a research project on contemporary fascism through ‘On the Royal Road’ by Elfriede Jelinek.
In her work, Agnes explores how social and political structures shape our bodies, language and relationships. Moving between the personal, the political and the physical, she creates performances that bring together text, movement, live music and visual elements.
Inspired by dance and mime, her work often takes the form of fragmented montages that approach complex themes from multiple perspectives and theatrical languages. Through this, she seeks to make complex issues tangible and to create space for new ways of seeing, relating and being together.
