Depicting images of family life, Purgatorio is set in a domestic space where the use of imagination disguises reality, tormenting the soul.

Presented as three separate events – Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso – Romeo Castellucci has dismantled, exposed and transformed Dante’s Divine Comedy into a truly lived experience.

Using a profoundly visual style, Castellucci creates a deeply unsettling world forcing audiences into a hauntingly beautiful nightmare, engaging the senses in an experience you are unlikely to forget. This is highly visceral theatre, not for the faint-hearted.

A large-scale work that questions the entire human condition, Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso has a company of over 60.

Romeo Castellucci’s work is considered by artists and audiences worldwide to be highly influential in contemporary performance. Having created a new non-narrative theatre, a visual language that directly challenges traditional forms, Castellucci’s visionary work is uncompromising and always surprising.

Purgatorio contains material that could be considered disturbing, so is suitable for theatregoers aged 18 and older.
