“Sul palco, i ballerini si muovono volando dentro l’aria e creano figure irreali! Ispirazione per le feste del teatro barocco e attingendo alle possibilità tecnologiche attuali, Emiliano Pellisari, autore di questo spettacolo totale, è l’inventore di una singolare arte coreografica, al crocevia della magia, illusionismo e circo. I suoi ballerini, come liberati dalla gravità, fluttuano nell’aria al ritmo della musica che spazia dal rock al classico. Ispirato alle cantiche più famose di Dante, unisce Magritte ed Escher nel suo universo surrealista.  Pellisari ci porta in un sogno ad occhi aperti, sbalorditivo  per non dire bellezza pura.”    –Anne-Catherine Sutermeister, NoGravity Theatre

Divina Commedia is one of the shows put on by touring, acrobatic theatre company NoGravity. For more information about the show and the production company, visit their website here.
