In a bold and ambitious undertaking, Roberto Benigni brings Dante Alighieri's timeless masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy," to life in a way that's both faithful to the original and freshly imaginative. Benigni's one-man show, "Tutto Dante," is a tour-de-force performance that will leave audiences in awe.
From Inferno , Canto XXXIII. Benigni turns the story of the starving count gnawing on his enemy’s head into a brutal meditation on fatherhood and political cruelty. He ends the segment in tears, then cracks a joke to release the tension—a masterclass in dramaturgy.
