First in a series of 3 publications that were to accompany the dance tryptic Hell / Purgatorio / Paradiso based on Dante’s writings, and made and performed by Emio greco | PC. The company’s ambition was to publish magazine like publications that would act as a research means in the making process of the choreographies, thus feeding the makers with content and imagery, and in turn become a window to the pieces for the audience.
