Romeo Castellucci have created an innovative, immersive series of short plays representing the circles of Dante's magnum opus: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso are all represented in separate walk-in theatrical spaces.
Audience members walk through artistic recreations of the circles, watching live action sequences that represent the epic text. Each visitation is only ten minutes, and most punters will probably book all three parts. (Discounted to £45.)
The overall experience promises to be hugely effective. In other words, as close as you are likely to come to a waking nightmare in the theatre, this year.
Full points for effort and effectiveness, slightly minus points for being two years after PunchDrunk's stellar version at the Wapping Project.
Check out the Barbican's website for booking details.
