Corner of Pleasure

You get a message. Not signed. Address, time, tip on how to get to the back entrance. They say it's a one-of-a-kind opportunity — that tonight, after closing, you can see things you don't normally see. That someone will bring you in. That it is better not to ask for details.

You cross the threshold of the Corner of Joy after dark.

They say you can come face to face with Dr. Tulp Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson — in the dark, a few steps away, without crowds or glass. That the painting came specifically from the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague. Only you and the light falling on the dead body. And that next to it hang two canvases of a Briton whose name is whispered to the murders in the East End.

That in the middle of the building suddenly grows a Chinatown. That a cat lives behind one of the doors and that tonight they are broadcasting the world's first staged live radio show — The Mystery of the Golden Pince-Nez, taking place simultaneously on the air and right in front of your eyes.

The house belongs to a man who understands one thing: people crave entertainment, wonder, thrill. They want to cross the border. And there will always be those who will allow it — at the right price.

Zakątek Uciech — this is how the separate entertainment zones at large events were called. Places where you could see everything that was not allowed to be seen elsewhere.

The performance takes place in the movement of the audience. The audience moves through the different spaces of the building guided by a mysterious guide, encountering scenes, paintings, events and people.

The show is an expansion of the plot of Sherlock Holmes vs. the White Devil. Sharp strobe light is used in the performance.

You already have the invitation. It's not quite official.
