Dante’s Inferno in the Alcantara gorges

The Alcantara River Gorges were formed in the last 8000 years by underground lava flows from Mount Etna. Thanks to a show created in the heart of its fractures, the Gorges have found the right canvas for their natural scenery: Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. The show, entitled Dante’s Inferno, is directed by Giovanni Anfuso and involves dancers, musicians, actors, and fire artists. It is inspired by the Alcantara River Gorges and is performed in a unique archaeological and naturalistic area of Sicily. The descent into the Inferno of the Supreme Poet takes place in front of a small lava beach, next to the icy waters of the Alcantara River. The infernal scenery is unique, spontaneous and enchanting.

The preview for the press and authorities of the 2024 edition of the show will take place on Wednesday, July 24th, while the first performance has been scheduled for the following day. The other performances will take place every week from Thursday to Sunday until September, except for the day of Ferragosto.
