Youtube Video

This walk-thru dance event created by Next Reflex Dance Collective and Workhouse Theatre thoughtfully explores how we are all currently enduring isolation, wrestling with understanding ourselves, struggling to keep it all together; and tormented by being separated and contained. But maybe we all discover something on the other side, we just have to make the journey to find it.

Loosely inspired by The Divine Comedy and Dante’s Inferno; the story of Dante’s journey through the rings of Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil, “Inferno” grabs the essence of this text as the movement and the performance journey twists, turns and winds around the Workhouse Arts Center’s campus.

This work takes into account humanity’s current perspectives, all of us experiencing something similar at the same time. The artwork is embodied through music, dance and theater while guiding the audience around and through 10 locations providing a different narrative for the audience to view.

Go through your own journey, find your inner demons, a cathartic experience and maybe discover something in the end.
