Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio-Romeo Castellucci
Inferno
Romeo Castellucci and the Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio have been questing an anti-naturalistic theatre since the early nineteen eighties, which breaks with theatrical conventions and redefines the role of the audience. Working in a zone between the performing and the plastic arts and influenced by Renaissance painting and philosophy, the company has tackled the epic form as well as Greek and Shakespearean tragedy. Inferno is the first part of a trilogy inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. Eschewing mere illustration, Castellucci drags the poem’s dark core to the surface; in making it his own, he brings a sense of danger back to the stage.
The general activity of Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio is supported by the following Italian Institutions:
Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali; Regione Emilia Romagna; Comune di Cesena
With the support of the Culture Programme (2007-2013) of the European Union
