“Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.”
And so we all begin—in darkness.
Join Dante on his most famous journey through the depths of hell, levels upon levels of purgatory, finally discovering the light and glory of paradise. You will find terror in the wild beasts he meets along the way; and only moments later great hope at the strong woman, Beatrice, who leads him always upwards.
This contemporary staged performances of one of the most epic stories of the western world is an immersive, multi-dimensional production that leads you into Dante’s universe. Returning to the stage for the 4th year, this year’s production.
It’s heaven. It’s hell. But above all, it’s worth the trip.
