"Cantiere Dante" (Building Dante)

n 2017, Teatro delle Albe started to follow an artistic path with the objective of transfering the Italian MASTERPIECE that triggered the start of the Italian language and literature - the Divine Comedy - to the stage. “Some had already tried to do that: we believe that the process does not have to do with the idea of MATCHING Dante’s cantos with scenery, but rather to dig out its intimate theatrical nature. The word “teatron”, which means vision, embraces what the author defines as an “enchanting vision” (mirabile visione),  hence an “enchanting theater,” able to include its focus on the whole of humanity in its diverse experience, from the obscene ANNOYANCE of Inferno (Hell) to the melancholic color change of Purgatory, to its rise to a level where vision and words turn themselves into AN indescribable Paradise”.
