Atalante

Gothenburg, Sweden

 

 

I asked: “O Master, what so grievous is

To these, that make them lament so sore?”

He answered: “I will tell thee very briefly.

 

These have no longer any hope of death;

And this blind life of theirs is so debased,

They envious are of every other fate.”

  • Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto III

 

A family stranded on the shores of inferno recollect their memories of a lost innocence. Under the prying eyes of the Fates two brothers, father and son, mother and daughter seek their lost virtues.

Nine acts see them tumble down a vertiginous circus of the abyss.

 

Iraqi Bodies delves into themes from Dante's De Vulgari Eloquentia and La Divina Commedia within the scenic experiment The Rite of Exile. Comprised of three performances/installations dealing with the poetic themes of love, war and virtue seen through the inferno, paradise and purgatory. The pieces are being developed through residencies at Angereds Teater (SWE), Kungsbacka Teater, Rum för Dans (SWE), Ki omOs kinetai (GR) and Akropoditi Dance Theater (GR). Created with the support from The Swedish Arts Council, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, The Culture Committee of Gothenburg City and The Region of Västragötaland.
