    Inferno
    By inspired by Dante Alighieri

    18:30, Thu 27th – Fri 28th March 2025 at Jesus Chapel & Masters Garden
    Lent Week 9

    🔥 INFERNO: AN IMMERSIVE DESCENT INTO HELL 🔥

    What does sin mean to you? Step into a darkly surreal, wickedly funny, and unsettlingly introspective reimagining of Dante’s Inferno—a fully immersive experience blending live performance, shadow projections, aerial dance, and an interactive audio journey. Guided by fools, philosophers, and the Ferryman himself, you’ll navigate the circles of Hell, uncovering stories, secrets, and reflections on morality, shame, and historical accountability.

    At the heart of the experience lies a confrontation with Cambridge’s legacy of slavery, culminating in a haunting intervention at the Tobias Rustat memorial—a reckoning with the past and a reflection on the sins we inherit and those we create. Create your own mask, leave your mark on origami reflections, and watch them burn in the final ritual.
