This new total theatre show brings Dante Alighieri’s work closer to today’s audience, while celebrating the timeless power of his literature. A soul-stirring journey through stars, planets, performance, dance and opera. – DOO
“This immersive theatrical experience performed on October 10, 2025 at the Planetarium, as part of Copenhagen Culture Night, where over 6.000 thousands visitors have attended the event.
Dante, our homeless wanderer, has already passed through the doors of Inferno and Purgatory. Now, his journey continues through the Nine Heavens of Paradise. His celestial path culminates inside the Dome, symbolising the Empyrean—the place of divine presence—supported by Beatrice and Saint Bernard. Along the way, the audience will encounter the “starkeepers” and the angels who guide them through the Nine Heavens—each representing a virtue or spiritual ideal, such as love, justice, wisdom, and faith.” – DIVANO OCCIDENTALE ORIENTALE (DOO) Performing Arts Group
