Staging Decadence is a platform for exploring and sharing theatre and live art that lends itself to decadence as an embodied and enacted practice. It was made possible thanks to a two-year grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and is now an ongoing initiative for fostering new collaborations, publications and events.
