09 April 2026–03 May 2026

The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Vol. 2) revisits the fable of a town in plague-time crisis: overrun with rats, a tyrannical ruler, missing children, and an occult piper. Combining melodramatic cinema tropes with the presepe traditions of Veneto, Italy, this collaboration reinterprets the legend as an allegory of miracle and civic failure.
