DalTheatre presents "Dante's Divinus: Inferno"
November 24, 2009
- November 28, 2009
Above the portal that leads to Hell, wrote the poet Dante, are inscribed the words "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." But in Dante's Inferno, a living man travels through that realm and sees with his own eyes the unbelievable torments that await the guilty. Serbian playwright Nenad Prokic meshes this medival allegory with the images and concerns of the 21st century, weaving a collage of voices from multiple times and places that brings the inferno vividly into our postmodern world.
